The First Day of School





This morning was the kids' first day of school! They were not nearly as excited, eager, anxious or nervous as I was! I was up all night running through the list in my head - did I have all their supplies in their backpacks, were their lunches ready in the fridge, did I sign all the right papers? This morning proved to remind me that I can be completely prepared but things still won't neccessarily run smoothly - the bus forgot to pick them up. So, after standing outside waiting for 40 minutes, Daddy drove them to school. Here are some picks of them this morning.
Last night was "Meet The Teacher Night" and we got to meet Mira and Riley's teachers. We were so happy! Mira's teacher is a member of our church. Riley's teacher comes highly recommended by our pastor's wife. She's taught for 19 years and has a child in Kindergarten herself, so we were pleased. She's really nice and I think she'll be great for Riley. She's soft spoken and seems to love her job. Mira's teacher is just genuinely a sweet lady with kids of her own, as well. Our first year of public school is a scarey step, but knowing my babies are in good hands helps me relax a little.
