First Day of 1st Grade!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-25-08

Yesterday, our sweet angel started first grade! I still am finding it hard to believe. It seems like it was just yesterday that she was little, let alone starting kindergarten. I was terribly sad not to be there yesterday to see her before school, but was so happy that Eli was able to make it and was sure to send the camera off with him. From what I heard, both Swae and Seth were overly excited to see their daddy.

Here is the beautiful first grader! I love her cute little backpack. Eli and I picked it out. It is so cute and it is full of her favorite colors!
The sweet babies. Oh the love I have for the two of them.
My three favorite people - Eli with his babies. Moments like these are precious to him.
Definitely daddy's girl here. So sad how much she is growing! She is such an angel and such a pleasure to be around.
She found her desk and claimed it. She made sure to keep her daddy in sight!
Aw, look at her. I like how they have groups and not desks where junk and trash gets collected.

We got to talk to her last night. She was very happy about her first day and likes both of her teachers. It is funny, one of her teachers (in the pink-ish shirt) used to work with Eli's mom. They emailed yesterday and she was sure to let us know that Swae was doing well without us even asking. I had no doubt in my mind. Swae was also very excited because instead of only getting recess three times, they were able to go out four times because they were being such good listeners. To hear her, so happy and excited and full of life, was absolutely mind blowing exciting. I am looking forward to watching her progress this year. She is such a fast learner and I know that she is really going to do well.
