School is in!

We had a very fun last weekend of Summer. We hit a beach we hadn't been to in a long time and then on Labor Day we went into Chinatown for a great lunch and bubble teas for dessert.
Parker with trains, planes, and boats! Very beautiful day at the Locks.
Hannah's very favorite: Crispy Shrimp Ball

Parkers first day at Jing Mei School. 
 Parker's Mandarin program has been functioning for 2 years at a local neighborhood school that was near Microsoft. The enrollment for the regular school was just too much for the building. His Mandarin Dual Language Program was able to move into a building of their own this year. It is very nice to only have 90 kids instead of over 400. It will take time to become established there. Our PTA and the new principal are working hard to get all the equipment and supplies we need. I feel bad that Parker's class is the guinea pig for the curriculum!

Madison's first day of school hair do.

Hannah was very excited for school, but no to leave Miss Sophie at home all day.


The kids are adjusting to their new schedules and this was the third week of school with all of our extra-circular activities being added in. It is great not to drive so far to Parker's school, but I am still in the car all the time!
Love all the kids, but enjoy my time with Mckinley-who is now potty trained! Dance and tumbling classed for her will start in just a few days!
