It has been 6 months since we arrived in Australia and it’s finally time for Alexis to start school. She has been out of school since the end of junior kindergarten, which was 7 months ago. She has enjoyed her extra long summer holidays being at home with Mommy and Reid.

  
  
We have enjoyed endless days at the beach, playing in the sand with friends, bike rides, playing school and bubbacinos at the café.

  

But the day finally arrived…the first day of school…January 29, 2016.

Alexis was very excited to start a new school and wear a school uniform for the first time. There were no tears and almost no hesitation to join her new classmates. For Reid, it was very different. He was the one that had tears and trouble letting Alexis go. He would miss his best playmate and friend dearly as he stayed home with Mommy.
