First day of school - Parts 1 & 2

I've not been looking forward to this year since Bradlee started kindergarten.  We have kids going to three different schools.  Add a baby into the mix and we have a 4 way split.  It will stay that way until Avarie is in 9th & Bradlee in 12th in 2011-2012 and then we have a 4 way split again with Bradlee in college and Carsten in pre-school!!!

Bradlee started school bright and early last Tuesday.  She is a freshman at Rio Mesa this year.  Kevin drove her down to the bus stop around 7 am
.  Sorry I didn't get any pictures.  Maybe I'll take one on the first day of 6am seminary next Tuesday.  I'm usually up around 5 with Carsten anyway.  Luckily Kevin will drive her down to the church in the morning and then she will catch the bus at the community center by church to get to school and then a different bus will bring her back to Cam Heights in the afternoon.  The only
 fluke is Thursdays, when school doesn't start until 9, so I have to pick her up from seminary and then she will hopefully ride the Cam Heights bus to school.

Micah started 3rd grade at Cam Heights on Wednesday.  She's excited about school and loves going.  She doesn't always get equally excited about homework though. (just laid the baby down so hopefully my arm will wake up again).  Micah walks to school which helps with the schedule. 

Avarie doesn't start until next Wednesday.  I sent her to help her old teacher in kindergarten this week at Cam Heights.  I think she enjoyed herself and it gave her something to keep her busy in the mornings.  (and she can pass off some Faith in God requirements!)

Here's Micah on her first day...

It is nice to see your new pictures. I know Micah loves school since she is so smart. Glad Carsten is getting a bath. It will be fun to be there and help out. How does Bradlee like High School? The rain is pouring down in Costa Rica. That's why the country is so beautiful. I still think Camarillo is the best place to live. Love you. The temple work is going great. Love, Mom

Yikes, I hate trying to figure out schedules! You can always send Bradlee to Oxnard with me :)
It's going to get even worse this next week. Hang in there with the sleep issues, it has to get better.
