the first days of school, the end of freedom

So here it is, The time I have been dreading, but loving for my little girl. Her first day of a much delayed start in life. Kindergarten. She was so excited and we hurried and put on her new school clothes, did her hair, ate breakfast, made her first lunch and put it in her new school lunch box, got everyone else ready and we were off.

Of course Baker couldn't be left out so he hurried right along with his sissy to her classroom.

Here she is coming home after the long day. We jumped in the car and headed off to an ice-cream parlor to get the full the scoop of how the day went. After asking every question we could think of she finally told us these words of wisdom. "Mom, they don't challenge you on the first day. It's only about rules." Sort of like life here, huh? You learn the rules and then come the challenges. How she teaches me and amazes me everyday!

Horray Katie. It's been a long time coming. Madeline keeps saying that she is "lonely for her best friend Katie" We all miss you guys!

That is so sweet...and she looks so little jumping off of the school bus! What are you going to do with all of your new found spare time?
