Daughters of Denial

I’m still in denial.  This is the first day of the new school year, and there’s a high school senior living here.  How did that happen?!

Photobucket
Lois – 9th grade (now w/glasses); Rachel – 12th grade; Julia – 2nd grade; Hannah – 7th grade.  Julia wanted to wear her new blue school spirit shirt, but Rachel talked her out of it.  “Julia, only dorks wear school spirit shirts the first day.  Do you want the cool kids to turn you over into a trash can?”  She gets lots of guidance.

Photobucket
Rachel’s first day of kindergarten in 1996.  I cried.  She didn’t.

Lois got “a little lost” her first day in (the huge) high school.  Rachel started her after-school job and, “It’s work.”  (imagine that)  Julia is coincidentally sitting next to the daughter of Ukranian natives and “Mom, she speaks Russian.  Real Russian.”   Hannah started homework the minute she got home.

Rinse and repeat for the next nine months.
