Sarah's first day of school

It's finally here . .  Sarah's first day of SECOND grade!

Mrs. McFall is her teacher and she is very excited!

I even painted her nails purple with white polka dots!

 

What a difference this year is making for her - she is actually excited to go to school! 

Of course, we had to have chocolate chip pancakes to start off our first day right!

 

Our traditional first day of school picture with backpack:

 

She is so beautiful!

 

Brandon had to rush off to work before Sarah woke up, but he called as we were driving to school to wish her good luck on her first day!  What a Dad!

 

Her first day was only until 10:30, but it seemed much longer (for her & me)!

Here comes her bus!!

 

She even looks like a SECOND grader here!

I'm sure she's thinking "Mom, quit taking pictures . . . I'm just walking to the van."

 

This is the only picture I was "allowed" to take at the open house. . . a picture of her nicely organized desk!  See I have passed a few things to my children - unfortunately she keeps her desk more organized than her room, but I'm at least 1 for 2, right?
