Back to school!

So, some sense of normalcy has returned to the house now that school is back in session. The kids are all doing really well. Emily is in 5th grade now (and was quite annoyed that I wanted to take her picture on her first day of school). Matthew has started first grade and so far, so good. Molly is also going to school! She is in a full-day pre-k program that is offered through our district. She gets to ride the bus to school and they even give her breakfast and lunch! She's loving it.

Here's a picture of her with her new teacher, Mr. D!

Molly really likes Mr. D. She talks about him and the aide in the class, Mrs. Lezzi, all the time. She actually thinks that Mr. D and Mrs. Lezzi are married. Trent and I tried to tell her several times that if they were married, she would probably be Mrs. D, not Mrs. Lezzi. Molly insisted. She knew that they were married because Mrs. Lezzi calls him "sweetie" and "honey" and even gave him a kiss on the cheek!

Well, back to school night was last week and we finally got to meet Mrs. Lezzi. Let's just say that the familial relationship Molly should have thought of was mother-son. Mrs. Lezzi is a sweet, little ol' Italian lady who is probably old enough to be Mr. D's mom! We got a good laugh out of that one.
