The First Day of School

The girls started the 2016-2017 school year after Labor Day. They are sharing a locker this year, so this is them before school started setting up their stuff. 

This is them bright and early on the first day.  It's always such an exciting day. 

Maryn is starting as a sophomore at Dow High School.  She is involved in marching band and drama.

Avery is starting as a freshman at Dow High School.  She is involved in student leadership, basketball, and drama.

Parker is starting as a 1st grader at Siebert Elementary. She isn't really involved in anything extra-curricular yet, although she loves dance and theater. 

I am starting my second year as a graduate student, and first year as a teaching assistant at Central Michigan University.  I'm a little nervous about the added stress of taking more classes and teaching classes now, too.  Wish me luck!!
