First Day of First Grade!

We scrambled to get ready this morning. I can't believe the summer months peeled off the calender that quickly. The only hint in the weather that it's school time is the cooler mornings. Today was the first day the kids put on a jacket. It's a challenge to get mentally in gear for a new school year in the middle of August; but it's still exciting!

My shining first grader:

Our short walk to the post office to meet friends and cohorts :)

Isaac showed me his lizard face....... lol

He's a good little helper and a great support system :)

Almost there!

Isaac and Emma, they both await anxiously for their time in school too......

Who's excited for school?! 
Haha!

Matthew and Ava having a discussion about who's taller this year. I could be different next year!

Zeek is a great supporter too :)

Here are some of the big kids in the first grade. The rest are already on the bus.......

Standing in line for the bus.........

The more that you read, the more things you will know. 

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

....... and they are off to seize the day and tackle first grade!
