School started back up for us last week. We are getting back into our schedule of getting up, homework and other activities.
Katie started 2nd grade this year. It is still hard for me to think of her already in 2nd grade. It really is going by fast. She was so ready to go and couldn't wait. She told Chris and I that we could walk her in but no photos of her with her teach like I have done the past two years. *sigh*...guess she is getting to old for that.
Bree(my baby) started Kindergarten this year. She had to wait until Wednesday to go as that was her phase in day and then all the K kids started on Thursday. This was a big milestone for her, she has been counting down the days that she got to start school ever since she turned 5 in February. Her grin was permanent on her face all day and pretty much has been every day since then. She loves school!
I pic of both my beauties before they went to school together.
We walked Bree in and I had tears in my eyes but she was just so darn excited to be there it made it much easier on Momma. She has Mrs. Law for her teacher. She is the same K teacher Katie had when we moved here. Mrs. Law was really excited to have Bree in her class, plus I think she is an AMAZING K teacher so I was thrilled she got her as well.
Once last hug of encouragement from her sister before Katie went to class. Love those girls!
On the second day of Bree going, she came downstairs and asked if she could walk in all by herself. I told her I would really love to walk her in again (mainly because I was afraid she wouldn't find her class...she is a little directionally challenged just like her daddy). :) But she was very persistent that she wanted to do it herself and she finally agreed to let Katie walk her to her class. I have to say that when I pulled up in the car drop off line my heart sank a little and I made more tears in my eyes I as I watched her climb out of the car(again with an ear to ear grin) and walk away with her sister. She is just so ready to be big and I am so not ready for her to big, but I guess these days are coming. :( I tried to snag a photo of them walking in. Katie is a great big sis...she make sure Bree is going in the right direction each morning and on the bus ride home each day she has her sit with her on the bus. Even though they may fight like cats and dogs it is sweet to know that deep down she is very protective of her.
