Emma is off to 1st grade!



Did you see the date?  Its September 2nd already. Seems a bit impossible to me since I am still somewhere in July!  It feels like the sunny warm days just got started and our trips to the pool and free time together were just lazily passing by.

But alas, here we are in Sept and in two days Emma is back to school. The summer disappeared like a rabbit in a magic hat! We went shopping for clothes, a new backpack, and class supplies. We finally found out her teacher is Mrs. Banks and she will be riding the bus this year with other kids on our street.  She is beyond enthusiastic and is ready to be back among her friends and classmates. Our little social butterfly.

Mom however isn't quite as ready!  Emma will be gone all day and I have been enjoying all our time together this summer. Emma is bright and sweet and I love having her home. Last year she had afternoon Kindergarten and it wasn't much of a sacrifice for 2 hours.  This is the beginning of the next 12 years of her school career. Sigh...

If you think Mom will need some adjusting, Owen's little world is about to be majorly disrupted!  He LOVES LOVES LOVES Emma and follows her around to play. With her gone he will be following boring old Mommy from room to room. Poor guy.  I will do my best!

Emma is all ready to start and will do great as always, and we will swing into Fall with high hopes!  After all, Fall is my favorite time of year! Happy First Day of School Miss Emma!  We love you!
