Gracie's first day of Kindergarten

We can't believe it's here.  Neither Steph or I couldn't sleep last night.  It doesn't help that no one in the house hasn't felt all that great, but there was anxiety about this morning for sure.  Gracie was so excited!  She colored a picture for her teacher, Mrs. Brown.

We all loaded up in the van (we're taking Keke to school every MWF, then Morgan is picking them up after school those days, so we had Keke in tow), and headed off to school about 7:45.  Once we got there, we all went in, dropped Keke off in her classroom and then all marched to Gracie's.  She was one of the first ones there.  It was a big deal for everyone.  We weren't the only ones who wanted to take pictures.

I don't think Mrs. Brown wanted all of the parents in the room, but there's only 1 first day of Kindergarten.  And then we left.  Gracie was just fine. She couldn't wait to start school.  She was seated at her desk, in her place, as we left, ready for everything to begin. 

She loved it!  They learned about rules.  And Genesis 1.  Beyond that, they read and played.  This year, she's going to learn and grow so much. She'll learn how to read and write lowercase letters and count to 100 and no telling what else.  I really can't believe it's already here.
