First Day of School

Sarah started Jr. High today! She has to leave the house by about 7:10 to get to school. Class starts at 7:35. Today she dragged her butt out of bed just past 6:00 and had to be rushed out the door since her friends called at 7:05 and said they were ready to go. Then we had a little tantrum (she didn't get much sleep the night before) when I told her I was taking her picture before she left.

Not a great picture (note the bags under her eyes), but we have taken a photo of Sarah (and Alison) on the first day of school since the day she started Kindergarten.

Apparently she had a really good day. She has lots of people that she knows in her classes either from Sunday School, Scouts, Cheerleading, or Riverside, so she is really comfortable getting around. Hopefully the good mood lasts.


Alison's first day went pretty well also.


She has been worried about school all summer but she had a really good time today. I even got treated to a new song she learned in music class today when I got home. Just like Sarah, we are hoping that things continue like they did today.
