This morning was downright chilly as we got ready for school. I was the one with the butterflies in my stomach while she kept asking if it was time to get in the car. I have decided that this will be our traditional first day of school pose - leaving the front gate, even though we actually leave through the garage door.
A few days ago we got to meet her new teacher, Mrs. K. I really don't know the teachers at the school, but this is one of the two ladies that I was praying for. (There are 5 first grade classes!) She always seemed like a pleasant and organized person when I saw her in the hallways last year. I am so pleased that Sierra is in her class, and just look at how happy Sierra is:
Back to this morning - I wanted to get a shot of all three girls before school, but Valerie was obviously not interested in holding hands with Ally. Typical Val-Val. That girl has a mind of her own.
Eager beaver was first in line to go inside and didn't even turn around to wave good-bye. It all happened so quickly that I didn't even have time to cry. Good thing.
While I counted the minutes until 3:45, I enjoyed watching these cute little rascals try to get along with each other.
Grandma Phyllis called right after school to ask how the day had gone. We knew that she was praying. Sierra used every superlative in the dictionary while she was on the phone.
Aunt Susie had dropped off a back-to-school gift for Sierra earlier in the day. Thanks, Suze!
I hope that at 7:30 tomorrow morning she will wake up as cheery as she did today!
