First Day of First and Third Grade

I can't believe school is already starting.  The kids are excited for the year to start!  Several years now, we take our "first day of school" pics the day before, so that we aren't rushed.  Here are a few pictures in front of the house.

 

On the actual first day of school, Violet was dressed and ready to be in the pictures, too.

I found some new art.  I bought this piece for the dining room. 

 

And then I found this piece for the living room.
