Hlearning Again, But Without the Trumpets

You'll not find cutesy or artistic First Day of H'learning Pictures here, I'm afraid.  All I've got for you are girls running through the rain to find breakfast waiting.

 

Here's a fresh, little kindergartener.  (!)

The girls get to choose anything they own to wear on the first day of school, and I put their hair up in their requested styles.  Annika and Susannah chose fancy dresses (predictably) but also donned clip-on earrings and tacky chapstick.  Pip and Luci wore their favorite church dresses, and Millie, my practical old soul, wore an everyday outfit that was comfortable.

Four child-hlearners!  Four grades!  One "pre-hlearner!"  

ONE LITTLE MONSTER WHO'S ALREADY EATEN SOME SHARPIE MARKER EVEN THOUGH IT'S ONLY EIGHT O'CLOCK!

Pip is overjoyed to finally learn to read big books.  

I offer the following picture as solid proof that Lucinda Hope, my little tree frog, is the world's most beautiful child.  Simply stunning.

And here are pictures of the girls an hour later.  Fancy dresses, earrings, and chapstick-- all gone.

Millie was still smug and comfortable.

 

Pip was tired, and Luci was still the world's most exquisite child.

THE END.
