Yesterday was the first day of 1st Grade for Brenna. She amazed us again this year by not only walking to school (not alone mind you), but also entering this new phase of her life with anticipation and enthusiasm. The teacher greeted her at the door, showed her to her desk and gave her a writing assignment. Brenna promptly dove into the task at hand. I had to ask her if she wanted a hug or a kiss before I left. Her response was kind of like "oh yeah, that might be a good idea." Being in a new school in a new town with new kids, I expected pleas of "don't leave me Mommy", but there was none of that from my big 1st Grader.
Doesn't Brent look cute with his new backpack?
Mommy, why must you make me look into the sun?
At her desk ready for some fine Texas learning!
A photographer came to the kids' day care recently and these are some of the photos she took. I think they are wonderful. I don't know how she got Austin to pose for her.
She's always taking things from me.
My beautiful girl - growing up so fast.
