WE made it...1st week of Kindergarten and 2nd Grade

It was quiet the week with my sweet girls....I have to start with my buggy. YES mommy was emotional, excited, sad, nervous, AND not-sleeping-much...but the time has come my sweet Gray started Kindergarten. Her start was very hard for me, I knew it would be, but didn't realize it would be hard for her too.

I do have to note...The girls laid out all 5 outfits for the week on Sunday night...Gray's were all smocked dresses, Mary B. went more shorts and skorts....I love that we took over an hour to do this!

ok, back to our week...........
You would never know there was about to be a MAJOR breakdown with both of us here.....


and even snapping more pics with my sweet 2ND grader we still didn't know it was coming......



but the next 3 days as I took her to school(she had to start at Walter Jackson due to our system rules, however, this was not at all the cause of the breakdowns) it was just the simple fact that I had to face my little bug was growing up....she cried, I cried, and we both cried some more......NO I didn't get any pics of this and now I wish I had but my nerves had the best of me!

then on Thursday she got to start at Eastwood with ME and she was all smiles and so was I...when we saw just like Mary B, she got Mrs. Hand....



I love this little sign, just at their levels ....here they both are their first day in Mrs. Hands class.....




We are still adapting to all getting up and out the door at the same time to be at the same place, but Gray LOVES it and so do I!

As for Mary B. she is LOVING 2ND grade, she got Mrs. Hughes and was thrilled! Mrs. Hughes also taught her 1st grade Sunday School class which makes her a very special lady to Mary Bradford and her mom and dad too!


It is going to be a great school year.....I am so proud of you both and look forward to hearing what happens in your classes everyday, looking in your backpacks to check out all the notes and schoolwork you bring home, and sharing in all the fun things you will do with your class and your new friends!
