Let the Learning Begin!!

Both kids are officially back to school. Teagan has been going for a week and Tate had his first day on Tuesday. If it were up to him he would be going everyday. I will take the excitement as long as it lasts!
















Tate is riding the bus to and from preschool each day.

















He gets to ride with his friend Luke and they are pretty big stuff!




















Susie is so great with the kids and we are very blessed to have found her when we did! Here she is getting everyone prepped for the day ahead. And a little extra quiet with 2 3/4 year olds out of the house for a couple hours :)


















Sporting the backpack and new PUMA shoes. They won't be this white for long!
































The cheesy Tate smile.
























Here are the 2 students together. Tate loves to watch Teagan walk off to school and I know he can't wait to join her. Just 2 short years and they will be in the same building and walking to school together!
































Teagan, as always, was ready for school to start. We are so happy that she is in Mrs. Gosnell's class this year. We might be a little biased, but she is a pretty amazing lady and Teagan will benefit greatly from having her as a teacher.




















The full 1st day outfit. The blinged out shoes, zebra headband, and rock-n-roll skirt. Doesn't get much better in Teagan world!






















There it is - we are getting back to some sense of routine. Football games for the Raiders start tomorrow and then the Hawkeyes soon after. I am ready for fall - leaves, casseroles, and open windows. Oh, and decorations, or course :)

Whew!!

It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks at the Schaefer house but we are back in full swing. Here are pictures from all of our adventures - for some reason either my blog or my computer won't let me rearrange the pictures, so they are out of order. Sorry!! I finally gave up some I could just post them.













Adventureland with Aunts Lindsay, Becca, & Jane, Grandma Schaefer, Will and Kate


















Teagan's sleepover with friends


















Some of the dads enoying the slide at the kids' party. Who do you think had more fun?




































More Adventureland




































Dads again




































































Birthday party fun!























































































































































































































































































































































































































I know that was total picture overload, but keep in mind that all happened within about 6 days of each other. Next to come - 1st day of school!!
