First Days of Preschool, School, and Bus Pickup

Grace's first day of Kindergarten was a half-day.  Mom brought her in mid-day and the bus brought her home.

Grace was waiting with her sisters and friends.

 And Grace posed with her new teacher, a very energetic and ambitious Mrs. Wenzel.

Grace has grown to thoroughly enjoy her bus rides.  On the one time she missed her bus, Grace insisted Mom driver her to school via the bus route.

Lydia's first day of preschool coincided with Grace's first bus pick-up.  So, Dad stuck around for the morning show.

Of course, Ella insisted she was part of the show today too.  Back-pack and all.

The girls got an early start as teacher's pet by assembling gift bags including a chocolate, golden apple.

What's posing without a silly picture?  And what's a silly picture without sticking out your tongue or putting fingers in their mouths?

Grace loves to sit on knees while Mom or Dad crouch.  (And there is little easier way to tip us over than the same move.)

 Lydia is just so good and posing for pictures.  It's almost impossible to take a bad one.

Can't you just see the trouble brewing with this pair: Lydia & Steph.  Oh, this is going to be an exciting year.
