Here is Kaelyn on the first day of school. We started school pretty early this year, on Tuesday, August 11th, and we were racing against the clock to be completely moved in to our house by Monday night. And by completely moved in, I really only mean moved in enough so we could find bowls and spoons for breakfast, round up some toothbrushes, find the school clothes--just the essentials to get to school the next morning.
Kaelyn letting us know she is starting the 3rd grade. Third grade already? It does bring on the tears every year as I watch her find her desk then put on a brave face and wave good-bye. Then I make my way back to the car all the while silently praying that she will be safe and confident and happy in her new school year. And I still have so many "first days of schools" ahead of me! Hope my heart can take it!
Jaren and Kenna miss Kaelyn so much when she is at school! Actually we all do. She is a peacemaker in our family (most of the time!:)) and she loves making up games and activities for Jaren and Kenna to do. I especially love it when she plays "school" and reads them books and has them practice writing their names. Or she will teach them how to draw certain animals. Or they will make big elaborate villages out of blocks with all their animals and little people included. Lately they make art projects , then sell them at their "store" for 10 cents a picture. (Anyone want one?) We all miss Kaelyn when she is at school and look forward to 2:00 when we pick her up each day! So far she has loved the third grade, and her new school, Paradise Elementary. She enjoys her teacher Mr. K, and has made many new friends. What more could we ask for? Maybe less math homework!
