First Day of School - August 31, 2011

Jacob and Ashlyn, both started school on Wednesday.  Jacob is now in 2nd grade, and Ashlyn in her last year of preschool.  Both first days went well.  Jacob was a little bummed that some of his friends from school last year aren't in his class this year, but he's making new ones.  And he gets to see the others at recess.  He likes his teacher, and I've heard numerous people say she is the BEST.  I think we're going to have a good year!!

Ashlyn is now going to school 3 days a week in the mornings.  The first day she instantly met another little girl.  When pick-up came, she was running around the playground playing with her new little friend.  There's also another little girl in the other classroom that she met (actually met her at Jacob's pick-up, because her big sister is in Jacob's class).  So I'm really happy that Ash is meeting some girls to play with.  She also gets to play with our neighbor/friend, Colin at recess...so she is one happy camper!!

I didn't get the picture at his desk before school, so I got it at pick-up.

She drew a picture of our family...Laruen is sitting on Shadow.  :-)

Ash and Colin...they didn't find each other on the playground until we picked them up.  They were happy!!

And yelled and laughed the entire way home!!  They both are so full of energy!  Kindergarten teachers...beware!!
