First Day of School

Oh my sweet girls, how is it possible that I have two babies in school?  This is a very bittersweet moment.  How many times have a longed for some quiet, peace, and time to myself?  Now that I have three mornings a week, I am not quite sure what to do with myself.  I am sure I will quickly fill up that time but I am not so sure that I like the quiet after all. 

DSC_0013Now back to you girls.  Lily, 4K is your year to shine.  You run right into your classroom with no problems.  I am excited for all the new things you get to learn this year.  I know you will soak in every bit of knowledge you can because you love to learn.  I am always amazed at the depth of questions you ask me, and I love that anytime you don’t know a word, you always ask me what it means.  I just hope I tell you the right thing, because once you hear it, you don’t forget it.     

DSC_0031Sarah Ellen, how is possible that you are old enough to be in school?  It seems that you just started walking and talking and now you will be a big girl sitting in circle time, playing in center time, and listening (hopefully) during story time.  Even though, I may not be ready for you to start school, you sure are.  You run right in your classroom and barely notice that Mommy is leaving.  I am very thankful that you love your teachers and classroom and are so comfortable with your surrounding.  DSC_0014DSC_0017DSC_0024-1Sarah Ellen, I just love the way you look at your big sister – so full of love.       DSC_0032-1DSC_0038 DSC_0043DSC_0046As I mentioned, Sarah Ellen has no problems being left.  She jumped out the car and ran straight for the gate leading to her classroom.  She ran right in and got straight to business.DSC_0063DSC_0069  DSC_0054Once again, Lily is with her best buds this year.  I love that these three have each other to learn and grow with.   DSC_0073 DSC_0077 DSC_0078 Lily gave me a quick hug and was off to play and learn.

I am thrilled for my girls this year.  They get to spend their mornings with loving teachers in a nurturing, Christian environment.
