Ready to work!

Today was Emily's first day of 2nd grade in her new school, in her new state, in her new city. She said she was nervous and excited at the same time. She was happy to wear a special new dress and shoes (typical girl), but we had to ditch the shoes when we got into her room because they gave her a blister. Hopefully this will be all of the excitement, as she threw up after her first day of Kindergarten due to all the action.

One new twist today was that she was able to walk to school, which she did with her new friend (and our neighbor), Hailey. No more busses until middle school.

As usual, this day was harder on Mom and Dad then it was on Emily. We're looking forward to picking her up from school and taking her for ice cream to hear all about her day.

More to come...
