First Day of School

The girls were ready for school to start. They picked their outfits out the night before and carefully laid them out. Their backpacks were packed and ready to go. Sammie is so ready for kindergarten. When she got home I asked her how it was. She replied, "I loved all of it!" There are 5 kindergartens at her school! I can't imagine all of those little kids all over the playground. Her friends from preschool go to her school and also a few kids from church. She told me all the kids she found on the playground yesterday. She was hyper and excited when she got home from the bus. Today she rode the bus to school with Olivia. I can't believe she's old enough to be in school.Olivia was so ready. She was mostly excited about her outfit. She knows a couple of kids in her class, but not many from the previous year. The school is huge. As she and I were talking the other day I found myself looking at her and just realizing how big and grown up she is getting. She's such a beautiful girl. Life happens so fast.

They are so big! I can't believe Samantha is in kindergarten now. Ammon begins next week. My girls sent a batch of letters last week. They should show up in your mail box this week. I said I would apologize...they had their letters writtne the day they received some from your girls...I just kept forgetting to bring them with me to drop off at the post office! :)

Isn't it crazy how fast time flies?! I remember your baby shower for Olivia. They are both adorable. 5 kindergartens is a lot for outside of Utah. We have 7 at ours. I look at Annabelle and wonder how she'll fit in. She is a few months younger than Sammie so I hope she is as ready as I think she is.
