First Day of School

This week Everly went back to school and started 1st grade. She was very excited, especially after attending Meet the Teacher last week. One of her best friends who was in her class last year as well as the before care and summer camp she attends was also in her class so that definitely made her more excited. She kept asking me how many more days until school started. She picked out a new dress that my mom bought her to wear to school and packed her lunch with Justin Sunday night. Justin and I both planned to go into work late on Monday morning so we could walk her in. She was not nervous at all. I just really hope she has a great year and is always this happy about going back to school.

Happy First Day!

With her sister and her papa

My mom ordered her a new backpack and she loves it

Why are there so many boys???

Okay...the girls were just late, haha!

At her desk. So happy for her!

Everly's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

The day has arrived! This morning Justin and I dropped Everly off for her first day of Kindergarten. She is definitely ready and apparently so were we because neither of us got sappy . She was not nervous or scared to enter her classroom and went right to the seat she picked out at  Meet the Teacher night on Monday. Her teacher is Mrs. Scalise and so far she seems great. I hope she has a great day and a great school year and I can't wait to watch her learn and grow!

Last minute haircut last night and a new dress from Grandma for a perfect back to school look!

Have to get a sister pic!

So excited!

Walking our little baby in!

Everly's 1st Day of Preschool

Yesterday was Everly's first day of Preschool. This year she is going to St. Gregory Catholic School. It is close to my work so I take her on my way downtown (yay! for the carpool lane). Besides running a little bit late, yesterday went really well. She was excited and not nervous at all. She had no trouble saying goodbye and went right to playing with toys when she entered. When the teacher rang the bell for the kids to go sit on the carpet she listened much better than she does with us! She goes to the after school care and then I pick her up after work and the staff said she did great. She ate every single bite of her lunch and said she played with a boy named Dominic. She also went to mass and learned the sign of the cross (we have tried teaching her but she never really seemed interested). So far, from the new parent orientation and meet the teacher nights last week along with yesterday and today I am really excited for everything Everly is going to learn this year. Both her teacher and her teacher's aide are super nice as well as the after school staff. I didn't cry yesterday but I definitely had a lump in my throat after dropping her off because it's just so crazy to see her so grown up. We love her so much and can't wait to see all that she learns this year! Justin and I made a little video from her first day...
