1st Day of school!

Today is the 1st day of 2nd grade for Janea!!!! Yes, I said that right: 2nd grade! Last year we worked with her teacher and school principal to get Janea into a class that would continue to challenge Janea and they determined she should skip 1st grade. We thought long and hard about the decision but in the end agreed and gave our approval.
I can't believe my baby is so grown up! Her book bag was loaded down with so many school supplies include 4-5 subject notebooks (what will they do with those?).

First day of school!

Jen & her big baby girl!

Getting on the bus and not even looking back!

Our 2nd baby is also growing up and leaving the nest! Jada starts preschool with a staggered entry day this Friday. She'll go daily from 8am - 2pm. We are so excited for her! Today her teachers came for a home visit (they do this with the pre-k class so that the kids feel comfortable and have a chance to get to know the teachers on their own turf).

Mrs. Johnson, Jada & Ms. Cooper

These were Janea's pre-k teachers in 2006-2007. We requested them for Jada because we think they are wonderful teachers and they have helped to build a strong educational foundation for our girls.

Just think...Jula will hopefully go to the same school and have the same teachers in 2011-2012 school year!!! Eeeeeek!
