First day of School

(This, of course, happened a while ago.  Life has been a bit out of order for a while and so these posts will be too!  These kids are just to darn cute not to talk about them, so order or no order here goes some more stuff about us.)

Kara was the first to head out the door this year.  She is our only elementary student this year and her school actually starts before Allie’s.  It is so nice that we have been going to the same school all these years because it makes first day’s much less scary.
Here is my cute, confident 4th grader.

Allie jumped into a whole new world this year- Middle School.  I wanted the first day for her to be as less scary as possible so we went to every function the school had during the last few months of the previous school year and over the summer.  Allie and I even volunteered to help out the PTO a few days before school started.  Each time we went to the school, it helped Allie get the feel for where things were and how things worked.  By the time it was time for school to start, she was feeling really prepared.
And here’s my cute, confident 6th grader!

I am happy to say that they both had fabulous first days and this school year has been really great so far!

Oh what beautiful granddaughters I have! Wow - and the photographer knows how to make them look like little models. So happy that they both are having great experiences at school this year.
