First Day of First Grade

Today was the girls' first day of 1st grade.  Hard to believe 1st grade already!

Marcus was a great sport again.  He knows he's got one more year and then he'll get to go on the bus too.

The girls were a little nervous this year.  They met their teacher at an Open House last night and looked at the names on the desks.  They didn't recognize a lot of the names so they were afraid they might not know anyone.  Also this year they have to go to the after school program (I worked part-time last year but was unable to this year).  They were a little nervous about that too; mainly because it was new to them.  When I picked them up they talked non-stop.  They ran into old friends and made some new ones too.  Olivia said her favorite part of today was reading.  Emma said her favorite part was the YMCA (the after school program).  That made me feel much better...I was feeling really guilty about them having to go there...but they LOVE it so I think it is going to be okay.  So far so good...we've got 2 kids who love school!
