And they're off…

Here's Emma ready to head out the door… I said to her this morning, "Emma, I can't believe you're going to be at school ALL day!  What will I do without you?"  Her reply:  "Goodbye, Mom."  She LOVES school.  And was more than excited to eat lunch in the cafeteria and spend all day there.

And Zach:  here is his text to Nate about his day while we were at Emma's soccer practice (yeah, I realize he sent his first text at age 8, and I was 32…)  "Hi dad!  The first day of school was really fun!  It was fun to see all my school friends again.  Spencer didn't even notice my glasses (or so I think!)  I even met a new friend!  He's from North Dakota but I forgot his name.  Love you!"

Last out the door was my little buddy Carter, future astronaut.  He ran right in to his friend Brit's house for his first day of our co-op preschool and never looked back.  

It was a pretty empty house this morning – I told Meg, "It's me and you, kiddo!"  She gave me a big smile, and then fell asleep until we left to get Carter.  :)   After school we had root beer floats at our friends' houses (an annual tradition that we will miss and have to re-create when we move!) to celebrate.   And when I tucked Emma in tonight and she was telling me the best and worst parts of her day, "The best part was school, and the worst part was nothing."  Sounds like it's going to be a good year.
