School!

The girls started school today!  They will be the only Americans among 700 at an all girls school that is spanish speaking only.  They were excited and eager to go.  We went back and forth in deciding whether to send Ava to a bilingual school but this one is walking distance and she was up for the challenge of learning spanish.  Sophia and Esme began showing interest in attending and well, three uniforms later, here we are.  I love that they want to stick together and their desire to learn new things.  Sophia and Esme go from 8-1:30 (how great is that?!) and Ava stays until 2:30.  We will continute homeschooling English and math lessons in the afternoons.  Can't wait to see how their day was when we pick them up!

I can't wait to hear about their adventures... those Stewart girls are so autonomous! Now you just have to teach Emerick to fetch you magnum bars from the freezer so you can stay on the couch and learn your Spanish watchin NoVeLaS hija!! I love love the uniforms! So fantastic!
