We were back from America on the 14th of August and Pete was back to work on the 16th. We squeezed every last ounce of fun out of this summer between 10 days in Greece and 5 weeks in America! We are very fortunate that Pete's school provides childcare for the children of faculty and staff on days when school is not in session so Jude was back in "creche" with Pete in the week leading up to the first day of school. Children need to be 3 to attend the creche however, so that gave me one final week home with Maeve, savoring time with my little girl before she is off to school.

| Back to school afternoon. Maeve got to see her classroom again to prepare for the first day of school. |
After a week of creche, Jude was excited to begin classes with his old friends. His group from last year was split up so we have some old and a lot of new friends this year. And as much as I love my time alone with Maeve, she seems very ready for a school environment and to learn and be challenged with new things. In truth, she was very restless at home with just me after an entire summer with her brother and dad so the timing seems good. Still, nothing quite prepares you for your little one's first day of school...
