Looks like we are as ready as we can be for our first day of second and fifth grade.  I was able to meet both girls teachers on Friday and really liked both of them.  I am a little sad (and a little happy, if we are being honest) to be sending them back to school, but we are all really ready for a regular schedule and routine again.  Our family functions better with a routine.

Our bus stop is right outside of our neighborhood.

I can't believe this is her last year of elementary school.

They are expecting a typhoon to hit Korea in the next day or two, so we will see if we make it to school every day this week.  (As of 2 pm on Monday school has been cancelled for Tuesday...well I had one nice day of peace and quiet.  It was good while it lasted.)

But for today, the first morning of school was a success.

Now that school is in session we won't be going on as many adventures and so the blog posts will probably slow down.  I still have a few adventures from our last few weeks to blog about so there are a few more posts, but it is going be less frequent with us not having our days free anymore.

These are 2 great kids.
