Less than 24 hours after a whirlwind trip, my kids were up and at ‘em to their first day of school.
Scout is in his last year (insert me weeping) of elementary — 5th grade.
Navy is in third grade.
And Dash is starting real-deal school in Mandarin Kindergarten.
Of course they picked out their backpacks this summer.
Navy got hers at our traditional BYU stop, and the boys were sad they didn’t get theirs at BYU, so they got patches instead.
We could NOT BE HAPPIER, that Scout got Mrs. Komine for the third time. She is his favorite, and we are pretty sure that he is her favorite. (Pretty sure because she tells us!) Scout is so excited for a great year. He is also in Ms. Napoli’s english class, and she has a reputation of being young, vibrant and a great teacher.
Navy got Mr. DeSalvo for English — who is everyone’s favorite.
Probably because he doesn’t give homework — which makes him MY favorite!
She has Ms. Lu for Chinese, who is a new teacher.
And Dash has Ms. Kung.
He is currently a late bird, but we are diligently trying to get him to be an early bird.
His first day of Chinese ever went really well. He was so excited to be a part of everything that his older siblings have talked about for a lot of years.

These three were excited about their days when I retrieved them all from school, which was my second favorite part of the day.
My first, was when Navy told Dash…”If you get scared or have any questions, just find me at school.”
It’s really nice to have a mini mother at the school, to take care of the kids when I can not.
