Ready or not here we go...to kindergarten and preschool!!

I wrote this last week and forgot to post it. Oops!...

Sophia Grace starts kindergarten tomorrow! Where has the time gone you ask? I have no clue! All I know is, like every older mother warned me about, she was a newborn, I blinked, and now she's starting kindergarten. It's really true. It went by so.fast. I've been a messy sap all day. This morning I sat down in the rocker with my cup of coffee and I immediately thought about all the times I rocked her as a tiny baby in that very seat. In those moments kindergarten seemed like an eternity away. Now it's here. I could go on and on about the anxiety I feel. The fear I have of sending one of the most important things in my life off for someone else to watch. For six hours a day. But we won't focus on that, haha! She is super excited!

Ellie starts pre-school on Wednesday. Yeah, it's going to be a doozy of a week for me! She's excited, but I can tell that there is some hesitation there as well. She told me that she is only going to school for the playground. Later that night when we were talking about her school Joe asked her if she was going to learn her numbers and letters. She told him, "no. that's the other class. I'm just going to play." She is definitely my daughter. I once told my grandfather not to be so serious when he was trying to teach me to count.

Here are a few pictures from the girls Open Houses. I am so thankful that we moved back home. If someone would have told me this time last year that we would be back in Florida I would've laughed at them. But we are and I am so thankful for it!! Having our friends and people we know go to school with the girls makes this transition so much easier!!
