Brinkley started ballet with Aggie today!
{This is her 3rd week, but the first time Aggs has joined.}
I’m pretty sure this smile stayed on her face the ENTIRE time,
including when she decided to give Aggs a bear hug in the middle of class, taking them both to the ground.
They both were TOO CUTE!
So proud of Jack for branching out and deciding to try a new sport this season.
He was allowed to pick one other activity in addition to swimming, and we were sure he’d choose lacrosse or (his favorite) football.
But he surprised with soccer.
Add in that he signed up with his best friend, we’re pretty certain it’s going to be great!
He woke up this morning {knowing his first practice would be after school} and ran downstairs with a big hug and
“this is the best day ever!”
“Mommy…take a picture of us jumping up!”
It seems like we really lucked out with Coach Randy too. He’s the coaching director and definitely knows what he’s doing!
The boys only got a few minutes in before a storm rolled in {hence the lack of “action” shots}, but I can tell the team and coach are great!
First day of school for everyone!!
The girls both had their staggered entry today, so it was nice that all of their first days were the same!
The morning was easier than expected…everyone was SO excited to get up and going.
Can’t believe she’s off to Kindergarten!
So, so thankful it’s not a full day.
2nd Grade?!! Geesh…
Jack started an hour earlier than the girls, so that gave us a little extra time to hang out.
Brinks cried on our way to Latin.
I was the first moment she realized the other two would be together. And she’d be “alone”.
My heart broke for her.
But clearly…she recovered quickly!
Love these girls! They’re such great playmates…I know Brinks will be eagerly waiting for Kingsley to get home everyday.
And so will I.
Mannn we’re missing the beach!
But we’re definitely thankful to have the pool to cool off!
And of course they are THRILLED to reunite with their besties!
This morning was meet-the-teacher at Ivybrook.
Brinks was SO excited to check out her new classroom and the big playground that comes with it!
Jack and Kingsley were equally excited to check it out with her.
Ms. Colleen will be her teacher again this year, so that {combined with Hippo} has her already feeling comfortable.
After we played in the classroom for awhile {all three made me lots of “meals” in the kitchen}
we went outside and spent a ton of time playing on the “boat”.
It was such fun that J & K were just as excited and involved in the imaginative play as Brinks.
All three cousins showed up to help make the morning a ton of fun!
So sweet to have these two together after spending the summer apart!
{Realized afterwards I didn’t take one picture of the teachers & Brinks. Hopefully that’s soon-to-come!}
Heather and Doscher became our dear friends this summer for many reasons.
Not just for their swings. Or headstands. Or Jojo.
For our shared love of the beach. Mattapoisett. Family.
Watching them spend days on end together made me excited for the future with my girls.
Confident that we will enjoy each other’s company when we are older just as much as we do now.
Hopefully love will radiate from us as it does with them.
