First Day of School @ SMG - 2021/2022 School Year

This is what 6th grade, 4th grade and 1st grade looks like for Eloise, Sadie and Frankie.  Look at those BIG smiles.  This year, our kids are back in what I'm calling 'normal school'.  And we're so grateful for that.  We're grateful for being able to take the bus to/from school, staying a full, normal day, eating lunch with their friends and being kids.  Sure, they're wearing masks and staying safe, but it feels so nice to have some normalcy in these three lives.  We're also so happy that Nat is back at SMG working as a 2nd grade aide.   They've navigated this period of time incredibly well.  That's thanks to Nat.  But, these three kids are smarter, stronger and more resilient today than they were when COVID started.  Hard to believe all three kids are on the same schedule.  And that we have both a middle schooler (eek!) and a first grader (wow).

Eloise the First Grader

Yep!  She's a first grader.  And, a St. Mary's of Gostyn Viking to boot.  There's just so much cuteness and special in this photo that I can't help but smile along with my big girl. Eloise is such a great kid and she is being so brave in taking on this new challenge of going to a brand new school (with uniforms!) in a brand new place (Downers Grove!) all on her own. Just like her Mama, she's carving a path in the wilderness that her siblings will draft behind.  And she's doing it all with a smile (and some tears!) and more courage than I could ever have. Ellie....we love you so much and are so excited to see you take on this new adventure at SMG!
