First Week of 1st Grade!!!

Isabel started 1st grade this week...I can't believe it! She loves it! I wasn't sure how it would go moving from half days to full days, but it has been an easy adjustment so far. She knows at least 6 kids from her kindergarden class, which is pretty good considering there are over 250+ kids in first grade alone. Her teacher is awesome too. I love her already!

Ready to go! Isabel has been excited to use her lunchbox and eat in the cafeteria. Tomorrow she is getting hot lunch... pizza!


I think Eli might have more trouble adjusting to Izzy's being gone than her... he's gonna miss his sister.

Eli took this picture! My sweet little girl. :-)

Izzy shares a locker with her friend.


Leaving school... look at all those buses!!!

We met Daddy for lunch at McDonald's for a special treat. We even splurged and let the kids get happy meals! She was able to fill Joel in on her first day.


After lunch we had to drop off Joel's tux from Nate's wedding. The kids were very excited to see Roxy, the talking bird. It was so funny to watch. She waved hi. It was a fun way to end such a big day.
