back in Ann Arbor, and Evie's first day of pre-school

Eve's pre-school in Ann Arbor is great, and she loves it so far. On the first day (last Friday) one of the teachers was kind enough to send us these photos along with a brief update, which alleviated our anxiety! Although she was expressing minimal enthusiasm in these photos, it is clear from her actions and words the past few days that she loves school. Yesterday morning Evie said "I am so excited to go to school!"  She must have played really hard, because she ate about twice her usual dinner. We also joined a swim/tennis club that has a great kid's pool, so she can go crazy in the evenings and weekends too.  Evie undoubtedly misses all her people back in California, though, and asks about them regularly.  Meanwhile, Ella has not yet told us her feelings about the move, but generally seems happy (though a little fussier than before).
