Ready or not, 1st grade here I come!

Grace Anne was so excited about school starting back. I am trying to get excited and adjusted to our "school routine".:-)
This morning went Great! We could not get to school fast enough for Grace Anne, and I had NO tears!!! Yay!!! That is HUGE for me, last year I cried for a week!
Most of you already know that I am big on traditions. Last year every morning on the way to school we would pray with Grace Anne before she started off her day. This year thanks to my friend Tami, we have added another tradition.
Every night before the first day of school we read "Oh the places you'll go".
after we read the book she tells me her favorite part of the story and we write it down along

with the date and and what grade she is going into.
She also signs her name beside it!
It was so neat to look at Alexander's book and see how the meaning of the book changed to him each year. Thanks Tami for the GREAT idea! We are praying for Alexander as he starts his first year of COLLEGE!!!!
Now on to this morning!
Lunchbox and book bag packed and ready to go!
my sweet girl is ready for the
1st grade!!!!
Here she is in the car and ready to GO!
Walking into her school
looking for her class!
She found it with NO problems!!!

and I left her waiting in the hall with her class ready for school to start!
We are excited and ready for a GREAT year in 1st grade!!!!
