First grade!!!

So after several years of wondering when I was going to have the time to catch up... I finally decided to just do it and to not look back.

My little girl started the first grade today! I don't know how it happened!! Just yesterday I could hold her lengthwise on my forearm while I vacuumed :)
I am so proud of the beautiful person Emily has blossomed into! She is so bright and intuitive, and immensely loving and thoughtful! She is my bright, shining star.
Today at school she was the superstar for the day! She led the line to recess and to the cafeteria. She made two new friends, Iris and Savannah. I think that sounds like a wonderful way to start a new school year!
We are both really looking forward to a new school year; at a new school and with new friends. I think first grade will be quite an adventure!!
