First Day Of School!

I can't believe that I will be writing that 16 more times! OK, well maybe I wont be taking pictures by the front door when she is in college, just maybe though. She was SO excited to go to school. I went running at 6am and she was already eating breakfast when I got home at 645. Dad even went in to work a little late to join us! Alison did awesome, and was ready for us to leave right away (no hanging out for the bell). And Mom only got a little teary-eyed...no crying :o) I can't wait to hear all about her day...and if she says "I don't remember" or "nothing" I think I might explode.

pictures are all out of order...but here they are:

Daddy being silly

Not quite sure about the whole "nap time"

finding the spot for her backpack

"I want to go to school with Sissy!"

She requested a picture of the new shoes

Big smiles - she as no idea whats going on

headed to the car :o(

First Day o homeschooling for EllieB

As soon as we walked back in the house. Ellie was asking to start her school. She was a little disappointed when I told her we had to wait till Brooklynn went down for a nap. We started with the pledge of allegiance, then the letter I, then some coloring, then we read all about creation in her Bible. It was a short day, but perfect for the first of 170 lessons!
