The kids' first day of school was a happy one. They were all excited to see their friends again and check out their new teachers. Ksenya is now in the main school building as a big first grader, and the boys are right next door in separate second grade classes. Julia, of course, is in 7th grade at the middle school which is about 1 1/2 miles from the lower school campus.

Ksenya is checking out her desk in Mrs. Alvarez's class.
Jason took Julia to school separately since she had so MUCH stuff to bring inside so I didn't get a shot of her in her classroom.
