Vancouver

The family headed to Vancouver this week to attend Mama's friend Donna's wedding. Chloe had a great time in Vancouver exploring her new surroundings, being a flower girl and making new friends.

First Day of School

Chloe had her first day of school today. She was so excited to start her new school year that she didn't even need Mama to help walk her to her school room! That made Mama a little sad because last year, Baby Girl had to be walked to her classroom everyday. This year, the parents drive their kids up the driveway and the teachers take the kids out of the cars. After that, most kids are walked to their classrooms by the teachers, but our little girl walked to the room all by herself with no help! What a difference a year makes!

Primary Parent & Student Day

Today was Primary Parent & Student Day at St. Catherine's Montessori. All the kids and their parents got to spend some time in their new classroom. Chloe had a great time meeting some of her new classmates and getting to know her teachers. Mama was happy to see her be so comfortable in her new environment so quickly.

St. Catherine's Primary Class (Pre-K)

Today was an exciting day. Mama and Chloe had a walk-thru at Chloe's new Primary Class at St. Catherine's Montessori today. Baby Girl was able to explore her new surroundings and meet the assistant teacher. She quickly was comfortable with her new classroom and even asked to come back to school again!

After the walk-thru, Mama and Chloe met up the Lesniewicz family for a park playdate. As usual, the kids had a blast playing together.

Mama and Chloe ended the big day by going to HSPVA (Mama and Kim's old high school) to meet up with Shaun, Sabine and Andrew's big sis. The kids had fun running the halls of PVA while the Mamas reminisced about the good ole days. What a day of full circle!
