first day of school!

Being in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are opposite and so is the school year. We start school here the end of January and there are three terms with a few weeks break between each term and school ends around the first week of December, just in time for summer! This year Kylea started second grade and Kaden went to grade 0 (aka kindergarten), here they actaully call it grade not. So this week has been a little different. We are up and at it by 5.45 am to get dressed, eat, and uniforms on. Then by 6.30am we are out the door to catch the bus. The bus and school are both private f.y.i. The are in school from 7.30am -12pm then after school activities are until 1pm, when they catch the bus again back home, by 2.15ish when I pick them up. We love the school and all the teachers and curriculum are great. The only thing we struggle with is the long bus ride. I pray over them daily as I drop them off (would love any other prayers too)!


And they are off . . .
It is very quiet at home these days with just Carsten and me! We have enjoyed some extra quality time though reading, building blocks and he is now totally into puzzels! But I cannot get over having Kaden now at school from now on though, when did they grow up so fast??
