Elaine starts Kindergarten

Elaine is now a school girl....i can hardly believe it! She started Kindergarten this afternoon, August 3rd. Afternoon class works well for us so we have lots of time to get ready every day and not feel rushed in the morning. She starts school in early August because they get a full month off in December for Christmas and two weeks (instead of one) for spring break. I'm looking forward to these extended holidays. Adam and i were proud to see Elaine start school, but Maggie cried, she is used to being able to do all the same things that Elaine does. But she also enjoys being the bigger kid at home while Elaine is gone. Excited for this new adventure in our life, parents of a school age kid, and next year two in school! Here are pictures from the first day.

This is Adam wiping peanut butter off of Elaine's cheek, as she had just had a PB&J sandwich before heading off to school. So cute.


Looking beautiful and excited. She is such a lady, she picked this outfit herself and was quite particular about looking fancy.


obvious photo op...'welcome to kindergarten'



Going into her class by herself.

They have the kids sign in each day, it helps them practice writing their names and it helps take roll too! what a great idea!
