Ella Bella started kindergarten! Again, yes, but this time for real! She is loving it and I am loving it also. She starts at 8 and is home by 10:40am, leaving the rest of the day for us to do things. I can really tell a difference with her teacher. She is more on a kindergarten level than the last. Ella is doing a great job with her reading. She has a book sent home each night and she's really getting the hang of it. She already has "best friends" in her class and her teacher goes to our church and lives on our street! Ella is my girl with the memory. She still recalls things from our Maryland days. For her, leaving New York meant leaving her friends, but she has high hopes for a reunion in the future!
This fall, Ella is back in ballet and started swimming lessons. She loves both, but the swimming lessons were more of a requirement from me. Ella hates getting her face wet for anything. She can now blow bubbles in the pool which is a huge advancement from the beginning of the month. Her goal is to put her head underwater, but I'll be surprised if that happens any time soon.
Welcome to Oregon!
Blueberry picking! Ate more than she collected, as you can see from her bucket!
Cousins who live close! Ella just loves to play with them!

I am glad she is loving school. Kaitlyn is loving it too, and I am so thankful for all day Kindergarten! Of course I am about to have a baby, so I am not up for doing anything fun after school.
