School Days

And just like that they are back in. Lucas steadfastly refused to say he was excited for school but his smile and eagerness Tuesday morning betrayed him. Jill gave no pretense about the way she felt. She was up, dressed and had her bed made before I was up. She has the same kindergarten teacher as Lucas, in the same classroom and with many of the younger sibling of Lucas's classmates. When I picked her up the first day the first thing she said with disappointment in her voice, "She didn't give me any homework!"
I took the above shot and we all started to the car and then Lucas turned around and "Oh, I forgot. Come here Jill, we should put our arms around each other."
Big kids

And Mia? She and her imagination seem to be doing just fine. We are having fun together my baby and I.
