It’s two years since we moved here, and Hannah very nervously went off to her school for the first time. That first term was hard. A new school. New teachers. A whole new lifestyle. Two years on, and we have settled, happy kids, who love learning, and love life on the farm. Just what we hoped for.
Toby has also started preschool just one day each week in the village hall too. He was so proud to be big enough to go to ‘school’ too. So proud, that he kept pulling this face when Country Boy tried to snap a photo.
For the first time in almost 9 years, Country Boy will have a day with no kids at home. I imagine he will have no trouble filling in his time!
Me? I’m less excited about school returning, mainly because it signals that I have to return to work too.
Are glad that school is back? Am I the only one who isn’t?
Great photos. School being back means work for me too as I am a school teacher. I always get excited at the start of a school year as there is always a clean slate and so many opportunities for amazing things to happen.
You are definitely not the only one sad to see the holidays over! It is so wonderful that the girls love school and life on the farm, no doubt this brings a sense of peace with it. I would love that peace right now, I'm awake in the middle of the night worrying about my little ones having to catch the bus this year as we have moved out of town…………..it has added some pressure to my little man that I know he doesn't need and whilst I am sure it will be ok in the long run right now it feels hugely worrying! Like CB though I am sure I can fill my two child and paid work free days. Have a great 2014 and I hope it doesn't become overwhelming with busyness. Emma
Ohh look at your lovely little brood.
I went to a small school too, around 50 kids. I think they're wonderful.
