The Beginning of a New Era - Private School

Caroline, after having a couple extra weeks of summer vacation, started school today. She has begun a new school adventure by starting private school. We were not very happy with her school experience last year and decided to bite the bullet and become poor church mice as we make tuition payments (hey, I guess it's good practice for paying college tuition!). We are looking forward to her being in a Christian environment and being challenged a bit more educationally.

Caroline looked so cute today when she went to school. She was very nervous about making friends as she didn't know anyone at her new school. But I am happy to report she made two new friends today, Molly and Olivia. I am really praying that she makes some lifelong friends this year. She said her teacher Ms. Lehmann is really nice and she loves to hear her talk (she is from South Africa).

She said her favorite part of the day was finding out that if she makes a 100% on her spelling pretest, she doesn't have to take the test on Friday. (Pretty funny what makes them excited!)

The worst part of the day she said was definitely having to get up super early. (after a summer of late nights and later mornings, 5:45am comes pretty early!) Early mornings aren't all bad, Caroline did enjoy breakfast at Chick-fil-a with James this morning.

Of course Jack was thrilled that Caroline was home and having to get up with him and go to school too! Can I just tell you that uniforms totally rock! So easy in the mornings. And so much cheaper!!!!
