My girls started school this week. College classes commenced for Will the week before; alas, I have no pictures of that to share.
Dots is a sophomore in high school. Vivian is classified as a junior, but she can stay in school until her 22nd birthday so she also has three years remaining. 2016 will be a year of big changes at our house.
Things seem to be off to a good start for the girls. Dots made the cross country team and has practice at 6:30 each morning, so she is out the door early (I can't say bright and early because it is pitch black when she leaves). Vivian has been very happy to get on the bus each day, and although there have been a few meltdowns when work or PE were involved, her teachers report that Vivian has generally been happy and cooperative.
Here's to a good year!
Waiting for the bus. Vivian kept saying, "Where is my bus? It is time to go to school!"
The bus is here! Vivian has been blessed to have had the same wonderful bus driver for 14 years!
Happily aboard the bus
Dots heads out for the first day of her sophomore year. No early morning cross country practice today!

I unintentionally contaminated all of the pictures on my blog when I changed my privacy settings on Flickr. I am working backwards to correct them all, but it is quite a tedious procedure! If you encounter a post with error messages from Flickr where the pictures should be, then I haven't gotten to that post yet. Please let me know and I will update it immediately. Thanks for your patience!
