First Day of School

Well, the day after we moved in, Elizabeth started school. Here are some pictures of her outside our house that her dad took.

Here is our smiling little school girl!

Here she is showing off the new backpack she got. Mom was mean and wouldn't let her get a princess, pony, Dora, Barbie, etc backpack like the other kids!

Here she is standing on one of the pedestal things at the bottom of our front steps.

She was VERY nervous to start school and we have had our share of tearful goodbyes. However, she absolutely LOVES school and gets excited about all the new fun things she is doing there. She has received moon pies from the moon, met a dog ("Mom, it just a man dressed in a dog costume") name chief, and learned lots of fun songs which she loves singing to me.

She is also meeting some new fun friends. There are three girls from the ward that all started school with her, and then she has met some other girls that are in her class. She also tells us that she seems to play chase the boys a lot at recess, so she has gotten to know a bunch of them as well. We can't believe she has already started that. We thought we still had a few more years!

Congratulations Elizabeth on starting school and entering this fun new chapter in your life!
