"Pickup from First Day of School" video

After school excitement...

Kindergarten!!

After much anticipation, the first day of kindergarten arrived.  In preparation for today, Maya went to Kindergarten Camp the prior week at her new school, Sun Valley Elementary.  That helped her get comfortable with the school.  It also helped that Naia, from Little Arrows, was in her class along with our our neighbor, Violet.  She was very ready for her big day.

Ready to go.

Watching the kids get lined up to go inside makes Momma happy...

...and a little sad.

After several hours wondering how Maya was doing, we were relieved to see a very happy girl when the day was over.  Here is Naia, Maya, and Violet after school.  Calling them happy would be an understatement.
