Kids go back to school!

Summer break is over, but now the real fun begins. Claire, Derek and Alli started a new chapter in their brief academic careers. August 6th was the first day of school. Claire (2nd grade) and Derek (Kindergarten) attend Benjamin Franklin Charter School in Gilbert while Alli is enrolled in the priority pre-school at Val Vista Lakes Elementary. So far, school has just been what the doctor ordered. Claire excels in reading and can't believe she has four recesses each day. Derek enjoys music and the instructor Mr. Blau. Derek also thinks he looks pretty spiffy in his school uniform. Alli can't get out of the car fast enough when we drop her off at school.
