Abby's 1st day of Preschool!

Abigail 1st day of preschool! As you can see from the pictures, she was running around the front yard posing and acting so silly. She was in such a good mood, when we pulled up to her school, she literally jumped out of the car and ran into the school. She has two wonderful teachers (Mrs. Kathy & Mrs. Mary) and lots of new friends! Mommy and Abby made it without any tears, just lots of smiles and excitement. When I picked her up, I asked her how her day was "mommy, that was a lot of fun, can I go back tomorrow?" She had a fantastic day!

First Day of First Grade

Today was Samuel's 1st day of 1st grade! He was pretty excited, but I think that he was also pretty nervous! I don't blame him since it is a new class, new teacher and mostly new classmates. Surprisingly, I had a harder time with this transition than I did with him going to kindergarten. Maybe it's because he's gone from 7:35-2:45 this year...that's a long day, or perhaps it's seeing my baby boy get on that BIG yellow school bus with all the older kids! His teacher, Mrs. Edwards, is a perfect match for Samuel's personality. She is very outgoing and bubbly and wants to make learning fun. I just know that we are going to have an awesome year! I still can't believe that he is already in 1st grade! Kindergarten and Summer just flew by! Here's to another great year!!

Samuel still not fully awake.

Enough Mom!!
