School Days

It seems hard to believe that Rachel and Lydia are old enough to start Kindergarten! They are absolutely loving it and are excited each day to go to school. Charity started going to preschool as well and she is really enjoying it. She always wants to be like her big sisters so she loves that she goes to school too.

Rachel



As you can see, they opted to go as "twins" for their first
day of school. After I took this picture they even decided
that they should wear the same shoes so that the teacher
couldn't distinguish between them by looking at their feet.



Charity



As for this little guy...he's growing up too. He surprised us this week and
slept through the night for the first time....TWICE! Let's just hope he can
turn this into a trend. None of his sisters consistently slept through the
night until they were between 9 and 12 months old. I would not mind
if Hyrum decided to pull this one off a few months earlier!

Can't believe the kids are in kindergarten! Spencer started the Spanish Immersion and is loving it so far. And Landon starts at Lee Rec Preschool on Tuesday. And really, Hyrum is soooo cute!! I bet his sisters love him! Fun to see how you are doing!

Hyrum is getting big! He looks so cute and happy. I hope the good sleep is the start of a trend. Lydia and Rachel look so much alike. Do their friends have trouble telling them apart? That reminds me of something Serge recently put in our journal (sorry for the lengthy comment):

At a playground, a 4-year old boy was playing near his younger twin sisters. I mentioned that we had a new baby named Eliza. He got excited and said that his sister was named Eliza too. I pointed at the one nearest to me and asked if she was Eliza. The smile dropped from his face as he considered for a moment. Then he looked at me apologetically and said ``I don't know. Sometimes they switch.''

That is a funny story! Charity actually is very good at telling Rachel and Lydia apart.

Wow! They are growing up so fast! I love that Lydia and Rachel want to play tricks on their teachers already :) Charity is such a pretty girl - I love those big blue eyes! I think she and Ivy have the same backpack this year- is that a disney princess one? And good for Hyrum sleeping though the night! I'm sure that will be a very welcome change! Hope you're doing well :)

Yep, that's the Disney Princess one. She had a whole bunch to choose from and the princess one won out by far!
