First day of school 2008

Everyone has had the official "first day of school photo shoot." Emily was excited to start school and had a "great" first day. According to her, her teacher is nice and she made a new best friend. She has a LONG bus ride home due to some crazy bus route, but I hope to get that fixed by tomorrow. It is CRAZY that she is on the bus for 45 minutes in the afternoon when we live like 4 minutes from the school. Am I being unreasonable?? Be honest!

Alyssa was a bit apprehensive about starting her new class, however once she realized that they have a FROG in her class, her whole attitude changed. She must have mentioned it 87 times last night. Is that perseveration??? LOL She did FANTASTIC. She got on the bus with out any problem and transitioned into her classroom without difficulty. She was a bit "stand offish" according to her teacher but she also added that she had a "fantastic" day.

I feel good about this year. Work is busy but GREAT. I LOVE my job. It makes it so much easier to feel like my girls are settled. I hope everyone else had a great first week of school. 3.....2.....1......blastoff......this year is about to take off and WE.WILL.BE.BUSY......

That's okay...I waited a looong time for this. I am loving every minute of it.

Hi Michele:

The pictures are great. They both look so grown up (eyes tearing up LOL).

I hope they both have a fantastic year at school and with their outside activities.

They grow so fast *sigh*

Love,
Joann

Beautiful photos, and so glad to hear the first day went well. We've started off on a positive note as well. The trick will be maintaining that edge all year!

Hope to see you guys soon!!
