kindergarten day one down....

.....we survived....all of us :) audrey started off the day with a bang ~ falling out of the bed....i just had to laugh.....kindergarten here we come! she was still just as excited this morning as she has been all.summer.long....i feel like we have been talking about & preparing for this day all summer....and it is finally here...

when choosing her outfit yesterday she had one request.....her favorite color ~ yellow.....now, i'm not one to wear yellow or really even pick it for the kids.....but this wasn't about me....audrey wanted yellow and it was her school day....so we found this adorable skirt and she was quite pleased :)

packed up ready to go!! of course, being the ocd *freakishly always on-time* person i am, we were early.....we chilled out in the car, talked about the day & then set off for a few more pics....

first day of kindergarten

august 12, 2009

we were so excited to see kylie before we went in.....more photo ops & then off they went....quite brave!!

they finally had to let go & depart to the different sides of the hall......it's ok ~ they get to see each other in the afternoons.....kylie's mom has so graciously offered to pick-up audrey on the days i work..... whew, how awesome is that!! the little ladies get to carpool together in the afternoon with another sweetie, emma....lots of fun :)

Mrs. Rary & Audrey

we are very, very proud of our sweet girl.....she did great this morning!! i know she is going to love school.....she is like my little sponge, soaking up everything she can.....

i love this pic.....daddy giving some last minute instructions!! knowing him it was probably something like...."see that boy over there, keep away." or "quickly, let's review - what's 4 + 2?" i love knowing that if ever needed brett is literally just several feet away in the middle school.....not that there would be a discipline issue ~ that'll be grant!!!

waiting to go in.....ready to learn!!!

when i picked her up at kylie's house her mom had the most adorable apple cookies for the girls....so sweet!! i know she is going to be in good hands when i'm not there :) and then audrey went to the car & found these in her seat.....and they're her favorite color!! she has been quite loved today and she deserves it.....we are extremely proud of her :)

thought i would throw in a pic of big man.....ya know, it's been awhile since he's been in a post.....plus, just look at that face!!! love it :) by the way.....he is doing great & adjusting wonderfully at his school too!

well here we are.....our first child in school....let good times roll!!
