School Started

I can't believe the summer is over already and school is in session. Sophia was so nervous and didn't want to go back. She let me walk her to her class & meet her teacher. I even met the new principal which was awesome. Hopefully, all will go well at Tracy Elementary this year.

Niki, our exchange student from Greece, started school Monday at Villa. She's had a couple of days to break in to the new routine. Girls there are welcoming her and inviting her to eat lunch, etc. which is really nice to hear. A neighbor also invited her down to visit with friends this week which was awesome. We are learning that 15 year olds far from friends IM a lot -- we've even used her webcam to talk to them with her. It's been fun.

We are going to our first Prep vs McDowell game since we graduated from high school this Friday. Having a teenager opens up some fun!
