First day of school

September First, the Day of Knowledge, is a holiday in this part of the world. It's the first day of school every year. Our family always starts off with school photos:

Bogdan, 3rd grade
Bogdan, 3rd grade

Asya, 7th grade

Raia, 9th grade

Jaan, 11th grade
(He grew out of his vyshivanka.)

Bogdan got a full-sized instrument!

The whole school


(He wanted a photo with the duck, but you can't really see her.)


We had a pretty good first day. It's always a challenge to get back to work after a long break, but like I said on Facebook, most of us were ready for it. Bogdan thought he wasn't, but he'll survive. After their first day of school Jaan and Raia went out with their friends, and Asya and Bogdan went over to hide from the heat and play with the neighbour kids. Music school also started already, at least for individual lessons, and art school starts tomorrow.
