First Day of School


Today was the first day of school for the kids! Eberly is now entering the fourth grade. She is so excited because she is in a class with her best friend for the first time. She is also excited because she has a great teacher, Mrs. Seeley. You should have seen the excitement on her face when she realized that her classroom is on the 2nd floor. It is hilarious what excited kids these days. Katie is entering the second grade. She too has a great teacher. Mrs. Nishigushi. It was hilarious trying to teach Katie her name. "Mrs. Hoochicoochie?" I think she is getting better at it though. She was the one I was worried about since she doesn't like change and/or being away from me. But when we got to school we went and checked out her class list. Her cute little friend Jeffrey is in her class. YA!!! They are really cute together. She calls him Jeff Jeff and he calls her K-K. So there were no tears once we got to school. Woo Hoo! Last year I had to leave with her teaching holding her while she was screaming for me. ugh.

Sara is now is Kindergarten. Last year she was enrolled in Poway's Pepp program which a pre-kindergarten program. It was wonderful for her. So she is now a full-time kindergartner. She was so excited that she got to be at school for the same amount of time as Katie and Eberly. Her teacher, Mrs. Baird, was Katie's reading and writing teacher last year. She said this morning that when she saw Sara's name "she had to pick her!"

Our prayers were definitely answered. They all got fantastic teachers!

Now Jimmy is the center of attention (not like he wasn't already)! He was quite sad this morning though. He moped all the way to the car after dropping them off. He wouldn't even walk on his own. Daddy had to carry him.

Poor Jimmy! He'll get over it and maybe even like the one on one time. Maybe.
The girls look so cute. Nice to have good teachers. Not sure if Hannah's teacher is good since it is her first year at this school. We hope she is good!

I always loved the first day of school. Kind of sad, but so much fun to have the house quiet down. The kids look so cute.

I am sooo looking forward to the first day of school! It sounds like you really lucked out with teachers! They won't let our teachers pick which is sad cause I missed out on a great one for Ruth last year. I didn't realize that all of your kids were in the exact same grades as mine! Good luck to all!

The girls look darling! I'm a little nervous about Gavin's teacher this year -- he wasn't who I requested, and I don't know anything about him. We'll see how it goes for us Monday! Love the pix!
