3/4 of our kids are busy at school! Jace (4th grade) & Caden (2nd grade) started school on August 28th while Miss Maddie had an interview with her teacher that day but didn't begin her days at Red Rock until Sept. 3rd. Sam's really missing his big brothers and sister.
The boys are enjoying school and doing well! We jumped right into a busy schedule of activities...Grid kids football for Jace and Soccer for Cade. Their first games are tomorrow, at the same time, different cities. Go figure.
How can this little girl be in Kindergarten already? When she was a baby, this was something I never let myself think about. Kindergarten seemed worlds away and it felt impossible that I'd send her to school someday. We're here now. It's humbling, amazing and such a blessing to be at this point.
She LOVED her first week of school and has been so excited to go each day... I've shed my share of tears, just accepting this change and letting go. Luckily, we're "easing" her into the full-day of Kindergarten so I've been able to pick her up at 11:30 each day this week and still get some quality time with her in the afternoons. She has napped the past two afternoons and woke up stuffy this morning, she's getting more congested as the day goes on. Yucky germs already :(

Maddie with Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Raigoza. These two are awesome and have been so helpful in accomodating our girl and making this transition as easy as possible on all of us!
Cousin Jilly and Maddie on their first day of Kinder! I'm so excited these girlies are in the same class.
Her favorite part of school so far is "going outside" (aka: recess)...she comes home each day sharing that she has a "new best friend" but can't remember her name. Cute. She's also so excited when she sees Cade in the lunch room, always excitedly sharing every detail..."he yells to me, Maddie! and comes to my table and gives me a big hug." I've loved picking her up each day as she chats all the way home about her day, giving me Kindergarten low-down! She's growing up!
