A New School Year

The end of summer break has come and with it brings a new year for our little girl.  Fourth grade!  She was excited to get back in the swing of things.  She missed her friends.  The play date with her best friend, Hannah the Friday before school started really added to the excitement to get back to school.  I'm so happy she loves school.  Her teacher this year is Mrs. Landrus.  I think they are going to be an excellent fit.  I have known her teacher for a number of years.  I had her daughter in class and we have even had her daughter over to play a few times.  It's going to be a good year.

Evangeline picked out her first day of school outfit.  She is very opinionated about what she wears and how she wears her hair, which is great, but can also be the source of some stressful mornings around here.  She has been so responsible so far this school year in the mornings.  She stays focused on her tasks and is ready before me most days.  We will see if it holds up.  :)

 

She always brings her teacher a little surprise on the first day of school.  This year she brought Mrs. Landrus some cute pencils, pens and a notepad.  She also included the sweetest note.  Her first week of school was great.  She was disappointed the weekend came so fast.

 

And look at what my dear sweet mother sent me on my first day of school!  It sure did bring a smile to my face...
