The First Day of School

The first day of school arrived suddenly on Tuesday morning! Anna and Cora actually leave before Meghan does--that's why Meghan is smiling in this picture.
With good ol' Mountain View Elementary in the rear view mirror, Anna and Cora march toward Wilmore Elementary School.Our neighbors, the Layers, beat us out the door. The shine from their front door is simply Kate's joy at being able to have a little more breathing room during the day.

Jack and Wendy Connell forced Jonathan to the curb.Michael smiles because he has such a good big brother to protect him at school.

There was a party at the bus stop!

These kids must be famous. Everybody is snapping photos as they board the bus.The good news is that all three came home encouraged about the schools they are attending. That means we cleared a major hurdle today. The hardest part about moving was uprooting the girls from places and people they love.
