Back to school

Somehow, this year I have a 2nd and a 4th grader starting school! They're getting so big, and now with Truman they seem even bigger cause he's so teeny.

We're really happy with their school here and are excited for them to have a full year at Templestowe Valley. Last year they came in after the first term, so they missed a few events at the beginning of the year. We recently go notice that the owners of our rental house are tearing it down and building a new one, so we have to move. But we are so happy and settled into the school that we will stay close.

Caleb wasn't thrilled about starting school this year, but he thrives when he's busy, so I'm sure he'll get into it soon enough. He has become a great big brother and love carrying Truman around and making him laugh. He's still playing tennis and is adding a 30 minute private lesson to his weekly group coaching. He's also still doing cub scouts and can't wait till it starts again next week.

Ellie's new teacher is named Mrs. Besford, but with the accent here Ellie says it "Besfid"- I think she has no idea there is an "R" in it. She is still in love with animals and jumps at the chance to play with dogs at the park or pets at her friends house. This year in addition to her swim class Ellie is starting a hip hop class, which is so cute!

Tru is getting more and more wiggly/mobile. He's pushing up on his arms, scooting backwards and getting ready to sit up. He celebrated his first Australia Day in January- so I had to get him a little shirt...

We like to say that he is an Australian Made Baby with materials sourced from the U.S :)
