First Day of Kindergarten

Olivia's first day of kindergarten was August 24. We believe that she was more than ready for it! She was so excited about starting school that she confided that she did not sleep very well the night before. Here is the big girl waiting for the bus.


The sad but excited mommy posing with her Miss Munchkin. I probably missed her the most at lunchtime...I didn't have to fix her meal and the sitting at the table was so quiet without her chatter.

The proud papa posing with his little girl. Joe was so happy to have the morning off of work to see this big moment!

The time has arrived! Here is Olivia and her bunny backpack boarding the school bus with our neighbor Danny (who was under strict instruction to look out for her!). Thus far Olivia seems to be very happy with school...she loves her teacher, is making new friends, loves lunch and recess (who doesn't?), and is happy but tired when she comes home. Here's to a new chapter in our lives!
