Back to School!

my new 8th grader!

It's crazy that our summer's over already - my girls headed back to school this week!

Ryann started her 2nd year of Jr. High on Monday.

I promised not to follow her around with the camera (I know, I'm the best mom ever), so I don't have a lot of pictures...

But she looked great with her cute new haircut and Converse...

Poor Ryann - while she was already back at school, the rest of us had fun...

meeting Madi & Skye's new teachers

and going out to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe...

But yesterday, everyone had to go back...

It's been so crazy-busy that I forgot to prepare myself to be sad! Madi literally jumped out of the car and ran to find her friends, but at least Skye let me walk her to class. :)

She seemed a little hesitant when we both realized that she was going to be there all day...

Luckily, she loves her new teacher and had a really great day!

Hooray!

Then, even though Ryann had lots of homework,

we celebrated a successful first day back

in a most summery way...
