Back to School!

We are back in the swing of school schedule time now. Katie started back to school last Thursday. She is a big 1st grader now. She is growing up way to fast, but as she is growing she is becoming one amazing little girl. She loves school, loves to read, draw, write out stories and make things. She has such a creative mind that is just amazes me sometimes. She was so ready to start the new school year and not be the newbie anymore.



All set for her first day. Can you tell she is excited???



Had to take time to get a few pics before we left.

Daddy even went in late to work to be able to go to school with Katie on her first day.



We walked her to her class because she had a lot of school supplies to take. She told us that she wanted to go on her own but I convinced her to let us help her. When we got to the room I asked her if I could get a picture with her and her teacher, she kind of rolled the eyes a little and said if you want to I will let you. Already at the age of 6 I am embarrassing her. So this might be the last year of a picture with her teacher.


Katie and Mrs. Gibson
Katie likes her teacher a lot, she seems very sweet and enthusiastic about teaching kids which I am thankful for. You never want the teacher that is burnt out. The other big thing this year is that Katie asked if she could ride the bus to and from school. She wanted to be a bus rider last year but I was a no on it. This year she was kept asking and asking, so we came to a compromise. I would take her in the morning and she could ride home in the afternoon, on a trial basis. I am still not sure I am 100% comfortable with it, but she loves it. She loves the independence of it and riding with her friends from class. So for now....she rides the bus home. I have a feeling it is going to get old to her, but we will see.
