1st DAY of SCHOOL!!!! yay!!!

so yesterday was the first day of school.... it was nice - joel and i got to go with arly. we were there from 830-1000am. we met arly's teacher mrs. emily johnson, she met her classmates - 20 in class, we were given the daily agenda and also filled out lots of paperwork, found her desk..arly hung up her backpack in her very own locker and we even left a check for hot lunches!!! fun!!! i did good... my eyes were full of tears a couple of times - but nothing fell! yay!

and then today.......

we walked to school together... just the two of us. she was really excited to go but you could tell she was a little sad. i was too - but way excited!!!

they stood in line when the first bell rang... and there they went - - i'm sooooo excited to hear all about it in about 1 hour!!! yay!!!

ps - alyn and i did very well today without her - jackie, riley, reece and brady are here visiting - but next week - we might be completely lost... *sniff, sniff*
xo!
