First Day Of School

Summer vacation is over, now time to get the school year started!!

McKenna was very excited to start her first day of 1st grade. She was up bright and early, ready to get the first day of school started!

As for McKaila, she was a little unsure about starting 3rd grade. In the days leading up to the start of school, when we would ask if she was ready for school to start up again, she would reply with "mommy, I just want to stay home with you" It made me sad hearing this because she used to be so excited about school, but after last year, that excitement went away. 

Watching these two walk into school together makes me so happy. I love these girls. I love that they look out for each other while they are at school. When we were walking into school, the 2 of them were chatting about having to make sure that they say "hi" to each other when they are on the playground. Hope that continues in the years to come too!

Logan and I couldn't wait to pick up the girls from their first day of school. And I was so happy when the school doors opened and I saw them walking out, both with big smiles on their faces. It's been a long time since I have seen McKaila have a smile on her face walking out the school doors, but oh my, I can't even explain to you how amazing I felt to see that big, bright smile. 

Both the girls said that they had a great day, loved their teachers and already had made new friends. Couldn't have asked for a better start to the school year!
