Happy First Day

This was Evelyn's last first day of preschool. She has grown so much since I started taking the kids to Holy Apostles. First in my belly, then on my hip, now going through the classroom door. She was so excited to start school again, but on thinking about all the new kids who would be in her class, declared "I like all my old friends."

You are more than ready, littl girl. Here's to a great year!

This is my 7th kid-year at Holy Apostles Preschool... hard to believe that this is our last "first day." With warm teachers and a great director, this little preschool has been part of our lives for the past 5 years. Evelyn has the same teacher Ethan and Alex had on their last year, the one I dropped Ethan off to while Evelyn was still on my hip. The one in whose classroom hangs a flag, flown in Iraq, sent by Ric to thank the school for their well-wishes during his deployment. This school and its teachers hold a special place in our heart. For a military family to have the consistency of all the kids going through one school, is quite a feat. We'll be sad to say 'good-bye' at the end of the semester.
