Hello new school year!

And just like that- 2nd grade!

This year seems different.  This year seems like my baby is OLD.  She's out of the prek/k/1st grade cushion and now she has her own locker.  Locker!!! To which she promptly asked, 'Mommy can I decorate it?'

We had a great last day of Summer break- spending it with friends at the local amusement park. We had a great back to school night with dropping off supplies, meeting her teacher (whom she LOVES) and checking out her locker and desk.

And then it came.  The bloody nose that would not quit.  The night before school turned into the morning of the first day of school and Rea had to miss her first morning as she headed to the Dr.  We have a surgery date coming up to cauterize the open blood vessel and check on her skin graph patch from her June surgery so we are praying and hopeful this will be all she needs to endure for awhile.

Some pics so I can look back years later and think- it all went by so fast!

Reagan- We couldn't be more proud of you starting 2nd grade and already meeting new friends and loving school. We pray for a happy and healthy school year and that you learn and grow so much this year. We love you!


Fun before school starts:

Back to school night!!

First day of 2nd grade!
