First Day of School

Emily had her first day of Kindergarten on Friday August 26th...she was lucky enough to also have two special visitors for her first day...Aunt Kathie and Uncle Peter.

This is Emily's teacher who she met a few days before the first day. She is new to the school so we don't know her...but she seems really great. We are all happy. Emily is exceptionally good. I can't believe how well she adjusted and just loves to go to school. She complains about nothing...well, only that the work is too easy. I told her not to complain because one day it would get really, really hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, the teacher's name is Mrs. Alice (pronounced Aleechay)
She is excited to have a locker.

I forget how to rotate these pics!!!! Sorry. Anyway, Reilly's first day was a half day on August 25th and then a full day on the 26th. She seemed pretty happy.
