The First of all the Firsts

Last week, Elley had her very first day of school........ever! This was the first day of school, of all the first days of school, she will ever have, does that make sense?
I can't believe it!
She was so excited, can't you tell?
And thank you Grandma, for her new first day of school shirt.

I walked her up to the door and her face lit up when she saw her teacher. She started walking away from me and I called her name. She turned around, gave me the biggest hug and kiss and ran into school without even looking back. I got a little choked up. She's a big girl now!

The first week she learned about the letter E for Elley! (don't worry, I wont post every art project she brings home.....but, you know, this was the first.)
And....... just for fun, a few pictures I took of her at Grandma and Grandpa's house.




I LOVE you, little Miss Elley Joyce and thank you for coming to our family.

She looks adorable! Ella was even more excited her 2nd year of preschool and it was much easier this time around. I was so thrilled the first time I saw her write her name!
