Today was Elise's first day of first grade. I told Corbin yesterday that I was going to cry. This is so different than pre-school or Kindergarten where they are only gone for 3 hours at the most. Her school is from 9:10-4:00. 4:00? What? In vegas we always got out at 3:15. This morning we walked her up to school and helped her find her teacher, Mrs. Sweeny, who I think is going to be great. Then they had all the parents line up in a tunnel so the kids could walk through and we could clap as they walked in. As soon as the Kindergartners started walking and everyone started clapping I lost it. Then Elise walked by and I gave her a little pinch and waved. I turned around to see the Bishop's wife standing behind me. She of course noticed I was crying and gave me a big hug. Elise was so excited for school. She loves school and is totally in her element in a classroom with her friends. I know she will do great this year. I'm excited that she gets to be at a brand new school and I know she will make lots of great friends. We are so proud of her.

I'm getting emotional just reading your experience... I dread the day when mine start school. But I guess you gotta let them go sometime. I just know Caleb is gonna be the one who takes off and doesn't look back!!

Wah, Wah! I know you stopped crying once you started the car and sighed at the idea of only dealing with two kids instead of three!:)
