Say hello to Kindergarten!

It's happened. My little girl with the tiny bit of hair on the very top of her head, who used to want to guggle (snuggle) every night, who would go everywhere with me and be my little pal had her first day of Kindergarten today. After 2 years of preschool I knew this day would come. I found myself not being nearly as prepared as I thought I'd be. After much prayer, God has given me peace about sending her out into the cruel world of public school. Ok, I know Kindergarten isn't exactly the "cruel world" but in my mind the last few days it has been! I have a feeling my prayer life will grow dramatically this coming year :) All that said, Katie had a great day and I didn't get arrested by driving around the playground 4 times in a row looking like a psychotic stalker rather than a mother trying desperately to see her baby playing outside :)




This sweet little thing went to bed a child and woke up as a Kindergartener! Ok, she's still a child, but where did the time go?




Our annual picture in front of the house. The kids stay still longer every year :)
Katie would have you notice that she has brown in her shirt (the color for the day at school) and she has jeans on. Yes, you read correctly. I said jeans. She has decided after 5 years of hating any clothing with 2 leg holes, that she absolutely loves them. Go figure!





Can you feel the excitement building?? We're in the car, we're buckled....and here we go!




Loren got to come to school with us this morning (we love having a Daddy that works from home). This is where Katie and her classmates will stand in the morning while they wait for Mrs. Jacobson to bring them in to class.




.....the after school pick-up...




And of course the day wouldn't be complete without our annual after school trip to McDonald's for ice cream! Yumm!
