First Day of School

So it was a special moment in our family to have Emma start Kindergarten! We had been looking forward to it all summer but when it came we were pretty nervous (Mom was nervous, not Emma). She had her backpack all ready to go and Daddy gave her a father's blessing before school started and she had a wonderful time!

We are very fortunate to live within a couple of blocks of the elementary school so we can walk to and from school together. Emma is doing so wonderful in school and we have been able to participate in lots of school activities like the book fair and Bingo night. I am happy to be volunteering in her classroom once a week and she is thriving with all of her friends. She reads at a third grade level and is working hard at math and sorting and patterns. Hopefully her enthusiasm for school and learning will last for years to come!
