Back to School

Wow, I haven't blogged in 3 months! So much to catch up on!

Both girls started school in September. Madison is now in first grade all day and Chloe is in her first year of preschool, going M-W-F 9am-12pm. It's a whole new experience having both kids in school for 9 hours per week! It's great to be able to get most of my work done while they're gone and be able to fully be MOMMY when the are home. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way, but we're getting a good routine going. Before school started, Madison made the big leap and chopped off 8-10 inches of hair! She looks so grown-up and BEAUTIFUL!

Before school started we got to squeeze in a couple of fun day trips, one to Multnomah Falls on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. I was so proud of the girls for making it all the way to the top of Multnomah Falls (1.2 miles each way) without either of them being carried at all!
We also visited Moulten Falls, in northern Clark County Washington. It was beautiful!
Then it was time for school to start!
