Back to School

We have officially made it through our first day of the new year, and successfully at that! We had a pretty good morning--everyone got up and got ready just fine. David was excited to sport his cool new Vans from Grandma Jane and his new backpack. The girls were more than excited to be sporting cute new outfits from Justice for Girls, which they have been hoping for for quite a while! When Ez got home from work he made a yummy breakfast of french toast and bacon. Of course there was a bit too much excitement and nervousness going around, so not as much got eaten as could have!

We took the first day of school photos and hopped into the van to realize that we were suddenly running late! We made it to school in the nick of time and got everyone where they needed to be.

As for the report on their first day:
LILY--when I picked her up and she saw the kids were in the stroller, she was terrified I had walked to school and that she would have to walk home! She was exhausted, but said Mrs. Williams is nice and that she had a lot of fun.

DAVID--enjoys his teacher, Mrs. Smith. It will be easy to remember her name since last year he had Ms. Smith! David enjoyed doing some artwork today and looks forward to doing it each week. There were a couple of kids he really was hoping were not in his class this year, and he was glad to report that they were not--hooray! He was terribly sad to report that his two best buddies were not in his class, nor anyone he really knows. At least he gets the chance to make new friends!

ALEXIS--is excited for another fun year. This is our first year with a male teacher, so that will be a change. Alexis was glad to see a few friends from last year's class and is excited that once everyone is comfortable with the whole school and drop off thing, she will get to be the one to take Lily to her class!
