Back To School - Together Again

These two have been reunited at the same school for the last time - probably ever. Dexter starts 7th grade at Santa Fe Prep and Maya begins her senior year. And finally a school shot in front of our new house.

These two together one last school year.

Hope it's a great year!

Junior Year

Oh my! This girl is a Junior. What!?

Little lady is on her way.

Ready for another year.

First Day of High School

 Maya's turn to start high school in a new town.

These two.

The new student.

Mom capturing the moment. 

Maya waves goodbye as she heads in to Santa Fe Prep.

Back to Real School

We are so grateful that our school was able to open back up to in person school.

Dexter got to go back two days before Maya.

Maya and Dexter both in school attire for the day.

We were able to see Dex in his classroom at assembly that day.

Then it was time for Maya.

It's great to go back, but it is still school.

Covid School

Well, it's time to go "back to school." This year the kids didn't go very far. 

The kids got dragged out onto the stairs for their usual first day of school photo. This year no shoes required because they weren't going anywhere.

Time for "screen school" as Dexter calls it.

Back To School

It's that time of year again...

Unfortunately, this isn't staged.

Hello 2nd grade and 7th grade.

Dexter at his desk.

Maya gets her first locker.

Back To School Again

These guys are ready for another year. Maya is starting 6th grade and Dexter is starting 1st.

 The obligatory photo series.

Shaking hands with Mr. Harvey, the Head of School.

Dexter looking very cute in his new classroom.

Two Kids, Same School

This has never happened.  Today Maya and Dexter went to school at the same spot.  Dexter is starting Kindergarten (for real) and Maya is starting 5th grade.

Obligatory shots in front of the house.

These two.

Dexter gets to shake Mr. Harvey's hand as a student.  He made sure to look him in the eye.

You can see the excitement.

 Proud Kindergartener.

Dexter is in class with his friend since birth, Owen.

After his first day.  (You may be wondering why there aren't more pictures of Maya.  Being her older 5th grade self, she didn't want photos.)

Dexter says hi to his 8th grade buddy, Matthew.

Maya's First Day at a NEW School

Maya (and her parents) are jumping in to a new independent school.  Mark Day School is a school that is just to the North in San Rafael.  It's a big change and we are all excited and a little nervous for the big change.

Ready for school.  No more bus for Maya.

First day of school dab.

At Mark Day.  All kids wear these shirts on the first day of school (They don't wear uniforms normally).

Opening day assembly.

Dexter approves.

After school play time with one of Maya's favorite humans and former neighbor, Riley!

This is going to be fun!

Our 3rd Grader

Maya's first day of third grade is here.

 Yes, those are silver high tops.

Back to school is bitter sweet.

This is what post first day looks like.
