Well for the first time in 5 years, the kids are going to public school. We are all a little (a lot) nervous about it but feel like it is the best thing for now. We have lots of mixed emotions including excitement, fear, nervousness, anticipation, etc. and ready to do it! We spent weeks getting everything ready from school supplies to backpacks to the perfect outfit and shoes and the day has finally arrived. All woke up excited and ready to go! We did drop off first at Karis and Brayden's school then to Lucy's. We even got through it without any tears (although mom did tear up a bit). I long for them to succeed, love it, have friends and a fun experience, and learn a lot. I prayed for them all day and couldn't wait to pick them up!
Due to Lucy learning to read and write in Turkish and English at the same time, she got a bit behind in reading. So we decided to hold her back this year and to repeat 3rd grade. We feel it will be best especially since she is young for her grade (May birthday). We had some tears at first but I think we will be ok after some time passes. Someday hopefully she will understand!
Brayden will be entering 6th grade, MIDDLE SCHOOL....I can't believe it! He isn't too nervous and ready to make some friends!
Karis is going into the 8th grade and only one year until high school. She went to public school in K-2 and has been homeschooled since. She has the most nerves and I think will have the biggest adjustment!
The drop-offs begin....

Lucy actually chose to ride the bus on her own I think the 4th day of school and did it like a champ!!! I was so proud of her!
We had LOTS of tears this week (like it was rough!) and especially middle school was a bigger adjustment than we thought. BUT after the week, we came back on Friday with thumbs up! We have smiles people! It is all going to be ok!!!!
