Elena's 1st Day of School






Yesterday we all went to school together for an hour of orientation. Elena had pictures, meet your teacher, etc. Kevin flew home from Georgia for this but had to go back last night. Today was Elena's first official day. Elena, Lucy and I waited for the bus out in the cold, brrr! When the bus came Elena was a bit hesitant but got up there on her own, and turned around for her picture to be taken with a great big smile on her face. The first picture I have is fuzzy and crooked. I am holding Lucy back who is screaming because she wants to go to school, too! The bus pulls away and Lucy runs a full block chasing it, frantic the whole way (rainboots and all!). I finally pick up the screaming ball, carry her back to the house, kicking and screaming the whole way. Well, I had to deal with the 2 yo tantrum, so I didn't cry until now, when I got a little teary thinking about it! I'm sure Elena is charming all of her peers and teachers as we speak!

That is such a darling story. I'm glad Kevin was able to be part of it.

Elena looks SOOOO much like you!
