Back to school
Emily started first grade yesterday, and Maggie started pre-K4 today. I think they were a bit sad to see the summer end.
Looking back at Emily's list of things to do this summer, we accomplished 12 of the 14 items. It was too hot to go to the castle park or the zoo. We will do those things this fall. Other things she did that weren't on her list include finishing her first triathlon, going to see a few movies in the theatre, and going to a couple of Suns baseball games. She also accomplished the stretch goal Karen and I set for her by reading 100 books. We are now waiting for a pink iPod shuffle to be delivered as a reward for that goal.
Overall, I think the girls had a pretty good summer, and I'm looking forward to them having another successful school year.
