1st Day of School

Today marked a milestone for our family ~ Abby started Kindergarten! Last night she was so nervous and scared for this big day. I'm glad to report she did AWESOME!!!! It helped having her cousin Luke ride the bus with her, have the same teacher as her and also sit right across from her. When Lisa and I took the kids to meet their new teacher we were surprised to find their name tags sitting right across from one another. Abby is also lucky to have a total of 5 cousins attending the same Elementary School. When she got off the bus this afternoon she had a big cheesy smile and so much confidence! I am so grateful for the smooth transition into Kindergarten and the comfort I felt knowing she wasn't alone.

Cody & Caleb were so kind to let me snap a quick picture before they headed out the door this morning. I had to promise not to put this on facebook! Cody is a Junior this year and Caleb is in 8th grade. Sophie and I get to spend a few more years together and I'm going to treasure every minute of it!

How exciting! I'm sure Abby is going to do so well at school. And what a special treat for her to have so many cousins at her school (and on the bus) :)
