First Day of School

Yeah, the first day of school has arrived. The kids have been anxiously waiting for this for quite a while now. Melia has been asking daily if it was time for school yet. They all asked to get ready for bed extra early last night and were up at the crack of dawn because they were so excited.
Of course, Emilee and Megan were too old to have me walk them to class this year. At least I still got hugs (and a kiss from Megan)...on school grounds no less. I feel lucky!

Melia looked really nervous while waiting outside her classroom.


She got even more nervous when we entered the classroom and I wondered if she'd let me go when it was time. Fortunately, she had a seat right next to a little friend from preschool last year so it was only a few minutes before she had warmed up. UNfortunately (for the teacher that is), I have a gut feeling this seating arrangement is going to be a bit.....noisy. This little girl is quite the little outgoing talker, and Melia feeds right off of her. She is SO adorable though and posed for every single picture I tried to take of Melia with a constant "Make sure I'm in the picture too!" ROFL.
