Our firstborn's big day....
I cannot believe we just put our baby on the bus this morning and sent her off to school to have an experience all her own in a place we've only visited once or twice. Annabelle came out of the womb with a thirst for learning, and has been a little sponge ever since. She has been so anxious to get to go to school that today's built-up anticipation was incredibly high! We are so proud of her as she has already learned how to read and write, and can't wait to see her thrive in school. Part of me is sad that I don't get to go with her, and part of me is so happy to let her have this experience that is hers alone! When we walked out to the bus stop, she of course screamed and squealed with delight as she met up with her best buds Emma and Katrina. Then when the bus finally came, Annabelle was off and running to get on with her friends, and would barely acknowledge her teary eyed mother, who just wanted a pic of her in front of the bus! (which I finally got!) This just exemplifies Annabelle's personality....one of exuberance and excitement for each stage of life. She loves to be around people and is very kind-hearted. Chris and I really look forward to living out this public school experience with Annabelle and being as involved as we can. When she got off the bus, I asked her what her favorite thing about her day was, and it was of course...riding the bus! Cheers to the new Kindergartner!

Amber, this post just melted my heart! Cherish every single moment, as they grow so very, very fast. It seems like just yesterday that my litle girl, like Annabelle, was climbing those big steps on that yellow bus and heading to kindergarten. And now, she is talking about college. Annabelle looked adorable! You and Chris should be so proud!
Aawwww!!! That is adorable, Amber!!! Annabelle will do wonderfully, I just know it! SO cute!
gasp. this is almost too much for me to take in. i am not ready for this...
she is so cute! What a great day! Thanks for sharing -- how can Annabelle and Anna be Kindergartners?!?!
That was a fun day. Getting to ride the bus with Annabelle has been the highlight of Katrina and Emma's school year so far and the one day they missed the bus (yup, it already happened) Katrina cried because she wouldn't get to ride with Annabelle. I just posted some pics from that morning on my blog so go check them out. I got a great one of you three parents walking back across the street.
