First Day of School 2014!

I knew that August would fly by and sure enough, it felt like we had barely returned from our Utah trip when it was time for school to begin again! 
We met the teachers on Thursday, Aug. 21.  Megan's teacher is Ms. White.  She is new to our school but seems very affectionate and Megan seemed happy to meet her.  Megan was excited to see a few familiar faces in her class this year--friends from last year, a friend from church, and a friend from the neighborhood.  That is a big help for my anxious girl.  She was happy on the first morning. 
Brooke's teacher is Ms. Dorsett who taught 1st grade last year.  She also seems nice.  Brooke doesn't have anyone she already knows in class, but for her, that is probably a good thing (at least for her behavior--she loves to chat!).  She was a little nervous at the meet the teacher night, but she seemed thrilled on the first day.

Dan worked from home on the first day so he could be there to walk the girls in and welcome them home.  It was an exciting morning.  And our usual Monday grocery swap seemed so quiet without the 4 oldest kids there! 


Brooke showing off the dress she picked out with Grandma.  She was happy we arrived at the same time as her old Joy School friends Breanna and Maddie.

Megan was excited to see Megan T before heading in to class.

3 big kindergarteners!

We dropped Brooke off first.  She held my hand a little tighter than usual but didn't protest when we said goodbye.

Megan decided she wasn't having the desk pic this year.  I took one anyway.  I'm just that kind of mom :).  She seemed happy to be returning to school and was excited to know her way around this year.
