1st Grade

Oh MacKenzie,
You have GOT to stop growing so fast. This morning you left on a bus (your very first time to ride on one) that took you to a brand new school for your first day of 1st grade. And you didn't even seem afraid. You were happy & excited, looking forward to your day. It feels a little differently watching you ride off on the bus for your first time than it did the day I dropped you off for your first day of Kindergarten. This time, I know you're going to do great and be just fine without me. So it's bitter sweet. You are growing up. It's sad and it's wonderful. Have an amazing day. I can't wait to hear all about it this afternoon.

Oh my gosh--so sweet. Brings tears to my eyes. It really does seem like only yesterday she was spending the night with Petri and me and 8 weeks old. : ( What a sweetheart.

2 things:
1) you were right about that adorable backpack!
2) I can see "my house" in the background!! : ) If we lived there then I would have been out there waiting with you at 6:55am--NOT! : )
