School Days!

First day of school! Don't they look excited? I even managed to put on a smile.

Sadie was waiting for this day for years!

Daddy is so proud of his little girl.

After a LONG rainy wait at the bus stop without umbrellas, we ended up in the car. Thirty minutes later, we made the decision to drive them. Sadie was VERY upset, but pulled herself together and even put on a smile as we walked through the school doors. Her sisters and our good friend Claudia walked her to her class. I think the frazzled morning was a blessing in disguise. I was fully prepared to cry as Sadie climbed up on that bus, but it never happened. Instead, I was distracted and caught up in the first morning frenzy. I didn't shed a tear until Danny & I sat alone together discussing the morning. It was quiet and I realized I'd have to get used to that. Overall, I held up well and the girls had a great first day despite the rough start. On the second day, I was alone and the tears did flow, but I somehow got used to the quiet and even enjoyed it a little :0). Of course, I missed my girls more~
