First Day Success! 

Climbing the fence was apparently more fun then
going around...

Driving up to my kindergarten crying because she was confused and scared in the hallways made my heart race, but seeing big brother with his arm around her and whispering in her ear, while big sister watched for me and pointed to her to alert me; made me smile.

Proud of this school crew and their love and protection for eachother.

Weeping happy mama tears. 

It is all going to be just fine!
