Raising two little girls in an ever changing world

Jena's first day

Jena started Kindergarten last week. I told her she could have anything she wanted for breakfast. She chose Lucky Charms.

I started measuring the girls when Roger left for deployment. Here is how much they have grown over the summer.

Jena already for the big day! She coordinated her outfit with her backpack.

I tried to get them both in a picture but Lily didn't cooperate.

One more try.

Our very excited Kindergartner!

Saying goodbye to the angel.

At the drop off. One thing I love here is there is no car line in the traditional sense. They have a lane to pull up to the school and a separate area for the Kindergartners. They also having parking in both areas and you can park on the street in the neighborhood. We parked and walked to the school that day. Since then I've been able to park in the kindergarten area or pull up and get her. Only about 5 minutes at most. No 45 minute wait here.

All ready to go in her room. She already knew one girl who lives on the next street over. They have become fast friends. So far it has been good. She has had hot lunch at school and has taken her lunch a few days also. She likes having the option of eating at school. They assign each student a number for their account. Our little overachiever already knows hers, we've been working on it for last few weeks. She told me last night she thought the lunchroom would be more like a restaurant where you pay. I told her you pay by telling them your number like when we pay with a card. She doesn't quite get how that works yet, which means I'm safe for at least a little while when it comes to shopping.
