Wednesday was Maria's last first day of school. She is a Senior in high school! It is so hard to believe she is that old. It was also the last first day of elementary school for Leah and Jennifer. In Indiana they would have started middle school this year as 6th graders, but here the middle school starts in 7th grade. I am happy to put off middle school for one more year!
The bus comes right to our front gate. Lucky us! If the girls aren't ready, our driver even waits for a little bit. We like him a lot and were glad to see the familiar face when the bus pulled up.
On Tuesday Maria turned 18 and celebrated with all her friends at a "Back to School/Birthday Brunch" hosted by one of the sweetest kids I have ever met. I know there are pictures out there somewhere...Maria always chooses pumpkin pie over birthday cake. Canned pumpkin is not a staple here in Belgium so I have to hunt a little harder to find it in the store. I paid the equivalent of $4 for one can!!
Above are the cupcakes Maria took to the Birthday Brunch.
