First Grade

I really can't believe that Carolyn is in the first grade.  When she started school, I was just so thankful that we weren't having the issues that we had at the start of school last year (with her not wanting to go to school) that I didn't even let myself get emotional over having a first grader.



Now when I look back at these pictures I feel slightly hormonal over my first baby growing up.



We are so proud of her!  She loves her teacher Mrs. Brown.  I love Mrs. Brown too!  Just in the short time she has been Carolyn's teacher I can already see the positive impact she has had on her.  Finally I am not pulling my hair out to try to get Carolyn to read or do homework.



I can't wait to see what this year holds for her!



Brian's parents were visiting us when Carolyn started school, which worked out great because Brian and I were able to drop off Carolyn for her first day with out having to bring our whole crew into the school.  Here is a picture on the morning they were leaving which explains why three out of four of my kids are in their pajamas.
