First Day of School

Ah, I can't believe this day is here! Ryan starting kindergarten. Charlie in her second year of pre-school! What a wonderful day for everyone. Ryan cried, Charlie cried and so did mommy.
They both had a great first day. I am so proud of my big girls!

All ready to get in the car! Our first ride to school.


Ryan's outfit. She was very, very proud of her outfit. She tried it on 3 times in the days before school started.


Charlie's outfit! She liked it because it looked like a flower. However, at the last minute she asked to wear her mermaid costume to school! Uhhhh, no!

THE WALK ON CAMPUS

Their backpacks are bigger than they are. So precious!


Walking proud with daddy down the kindergarten wing.


Mommy and her girls.


Daddy and his girls.

PRE-SCHOOL DROP OFF

We went to Charlie's classroom first. She showed us the quiet corner. Since Charlie is in her second year of pre-school, she was totally the expert! Mrs. Crawford even let her be a "head buddy" for the whole day.



Charlie brought Ariel to keep her company.


Every morning Charlie has to sign in.

KINDERGARTEN DROP OFF

Ryan and Kendall being silly while waiting to line up. Yes, we are so excited! Both girls got the same teacher!

Paige, Abbie, Kendall, Ryan, and Olivia. Kindergarten classmates! There were 84 requests to get into Mrs. Baker's Kinder classroom... and all these girls were part of the lucky 25 that made the cut! Mommy is so, so happy! You have no idea how lucky we got!


The kids had to find and put on their name tag.


And here we go...


The parents got to stay for the first 40 minutes or so. I got to take some pictures in the classroom of Ryan while we watched and listened to the very first moments of kindergarten.


Ryan's first public speaking engagement. Each child had to come up and introduce themselves in front of all the kids and parents. Whoa, there was a lot of people in the room and she did great!


The classroom tour. We got to explore the classroom together.


Kendall is just like one of the family! Hee-hee!


Our big kindergartener and proud parents!

HAVE A GREAT YEAR GIRLS! WE LOVE YOU!
