KINDERGARTEN!

Can you believe it?  Brynn Tressa started kindergarten in the fall!  Even now, when I am listening to her read, watching her do her do her homework, or reading one of the stories she wrote at school I am so in awe of what a fabulous little girl we have.  She has embraced every single part of kindergarten and made us proud beyond belief. 


I was so, so bummed at the start of the school year...I have always envisioned taking her to school on the first day, dropping her off at her classroom door, giving her a big "have a great day hug," and picking her up at the end of the day.  I didn't get to do any of these :( 

My new position at the middle school this year means I have to be at work at 7:15 with a room full of students shortly there after and Brynn's school starts at 8.  There was absolutely no way around it.  So, we got up extra early, put on the crisp dress that she picked out the night before, did her hair just as she asked, brushed teeth and washed her face, then ate her favorite breakfast:  an Egg McEckhoff.  Before I left at 7 I was able to snap a few pictures of her at the front door then left her with Darren and I walked out the door crying.  Darren said she had absolutely no reservations about heading off to kindergarten!
I sent the camera with Darren so don't mind the angles of the pictures:)

I was able, however, to sneak out of work just in time to see Brynn get off the bus on her first day.  As I pulled up to Lynn's house I found Brynn's welcoming committee on the front lawn.

These are just the sweetest pictures!  They sure do love each other!
Brynn survived her first day...and many more!
