School Days

The school gang!
Back L-R: Tanner, Ethan and Matt.
Front L-R: Ella, Taylor, Ashley and Emma.
The girls on their first day of school. Emma and Ella starting kindergarten(can you believe it) and Taylor going in 3rd grade. Wow....what a day! I must admit that this day was much easier for the girls than it was for me. I was so proud to share this day with the girls and held in all my tears until I got home. The girls and I filled each others pockets with kisses and hugs to use throughout the day which helped. Emma & Ella were so excited the night before that they had a hard time settling down to sleep and were up bright and early dressed and ready to go. This was all good but made for a very long day and crabby evening after a full day at kindergarten. Things have gotten easier now we are into a routine after a couple weeks. They are all loving every minute!

Taylor with her teacher, Mrs. Mahler. This is who she was hoping to get. She had heard she was the "cool" 3rd grade teacher and she seems to be great!
Ella and Emma with their teacher, Ms. Kronmann. This is her 1st year teaching and seems to have lots of fun learning activities planned. The girls come home excited and ready to go back every day.
