My Kindergartener!

Well, a new chapter has begun for our family. . .especially for Katie Greer!

She is officially a "kindergartener!" Her very first day of school was yesterday, and she was READY! She picked out her first-day-of-school outfit, and we painted her nails pink to match. She filled that new, fancy backpack with a zillion school supplies - and off we went! (Mom with her digital camera AND video camera, of course!) Okay, Katie did get a little exasperated with all of my constant pictures. . .but ya know, what are mom's for?

Katie never ceases to amaze me with her spirit of independence and resilience! She bounced off to the car with not a moment of anxiety or fear. . .I mean, she is heading to a school where she knows none of the teachers and only 2 of the students out of a million! I was so nervous for her!!!!

And then we pulled into the parking lot, and Katie grinned from ear to ear. . .what a blessing that God has given her this sense of peace and happiness about entering this huge new world where undoubtedly she'll encounter so many questions. . .

and so here she goes with a quick step and a light heart into the world of Kindergarten!!
