Almost here... School, that is

Well, we made it. Holidays are officially over, and school starts tomorrow. We had our share of bumpy, boring and simply grouchy days, but it was a pretty good summer overall.

It seems like yesterday that we were taking our first walk to Family Montessori. Now here we are, a member of the kindergarten "lunch bunch!"

Clothes are laid out, lunch is packed, hair is washed and fingernails are painted. Gwendolyn has expressed a wee bit of nervousness, but is mostly very excited about seeing Ms. Chris, Ms. Cindy and her classmates. Hopefully she will sleep well -- fingers crossed....

And what did we do on our last week of holidays? Well, there were a few playdates with good friends, trips to Science World and the Vancouver Aquarium, and a fair bit of winding down after a very busy summer. Here are a couple of photos of the week that was:
