First Day of School

Well, this is it...the first day of school...the first day of kindergarten for Lauren, and the first day of second grade for Katie.  In many ways, they have been looking forward to school starting.  Lauren is excited that she gets to go to school everyday, and Katie is excited that she gets to learn cursive writing this year.  Because our school district went through a re-districting process this year, the girls are now attending a different elementary school than the one Katie has attended for two years.  Instead of "Ranch Heights Wranglers," we are now "Wayside Warriors."  Poor Katie was so nervous last night that she could not go to sleep.  Finally, at 11:00pm, she got into bed with David and I slept with Lauren.  This morning, however, they were both ready to go!  Here's hoping it's a great school year!! 


Katie requested sausage and egg casserole for breakfast!
