Back to School!

We were full of school spirit for the first day back at in-person school! 

If you would like to look back at prior first day of school photos, click here...

Okay, this photo was not actually taken on the first day of school.  Thanks to Covid, parents weren't allowed in the classrooms for drop off on the first day, but we did get the option to wear uniforms and take staged first day of school photos at Meet the Teacher.  We are thrilled that Watts will get to be a Bergie Baby, just like Stella was...

The baby grew up...

Corinne will be in Transitional 1st Grade this year.  Since she is a November birthday and was on the older side of the group, they decided to give her a challenge...

Guess who's a middle schooler now? 

Stella and her two besties.  They don't have a cool acronym like Cille and her friends, but they are still awesome...

The cheerleaders and Junior Steppers got all decked out to welcome their friends to school in a flurry of pom-poms! A.C.E. in the house! 

First day of school and first day of dance class for the year, all rolled into one...

Corinne has Mrs. Kemp this year as her teacher and we are so excited!  Mrs. Kemp was amazing with Watts and we know she has big things in store for Corinne...

 

Happy Birthday, Watts!

Birthday breakfast with this big 8 year old boy!   

Watts' birthday was on a Friday during the last few days of summer, so he got to have his party on his actual birthDAY...

Since this was a pandemic party, we kept the guest list small and the birthday boy decided which friends he wanted to invite.  Like most 8 years olds, he chose one friend his own age, two high schoolers, a college kid, the librarian at his school, and our music minister's family (their kids are in college and high school also).  That's totally normal, right? 

Nana and Spencer spent the night with us, which meant crepes for breakfast!  Yum, yum!  

Graham has got to be on of the nicest kids on the planet...

I'm not sure if Brock had more fun playing with Watts or with Damon...

It's not a party without Watts' extra sister...

Ready for (nerf) war...

Mr. E's favorite almost 2nd graders...

 

Corinne's First Day of Dance

Dance class is a rite of passage in our house for the girls, and Corinne was eager to continue the tradition with her first day of dance class at Tari's School of Dance...

She's lucky enough to already have some sweet friends in her class...

Corinne and Abigail are preschool besties and the cutest little ballerinas around! 

All three girls on their first day of dance class...
