First Day of Kindergarten!!!



Today is Annie's first day of kindergarten. She has Mrs. Fox as a teacher, and we are thrilled! Uncle Kenny had Mrs. Fox, too, as did Matthew and Joey, and we all love her!
Only one of her preschool friends (Savannah) is in her class. Annie was so happy to see her. The other children are in the other kindergarten with the new teacher, Miss Ashley, or, aren't attending ICS this semester. Annie did see Daria and Brook before class, though. She was thrilled to see them, as well.


Annie was a little hesitant today, to let go of me. It's scary going to school on the first day. I hope she isn't the only girl to wear her plaid jumper. On the playground, it was a sea of navy blue, khaki and red shirts, skorts and slacks, and nary a jumper. I'm certain Annie won't notice, but as intelligent as she is, she just may decide to wear her skort tomorrow.


The pictures I took are a bit blurry because of the high humidity, but I'm sharing them anyway.


I can't believe my little baby is in kindergarten!!!

Jack ~ Our New Golden Retriever Puppy





Our neighbor's daughter needed to give away her 13 week old Golden Retriever puppy, and, even though my brain kept saying NO, once I saw him, I couldn't resist!! We named him Jack, and he has delighted Annie, Lucky and me for the past week! He is a very well-mannered puppy, slightly timid and very mellow. We adore him! Well, Lucky doesn't exactly adore him... she tolerates him... but Annie and I love him!
