Kate's first day of school

So ready!

Luke NEEDED to be in a few.  He gets to stay home with me today, though.

Proud Mom.

Proud Dad.

Off to the bus stop!

We have a fun bus stop.  The Dudleys and the Gaskamps are our bus stop buddies.

Waiting.....

The bus is here!  This is when Mom and Dad got some tears in their eyes.  I saw them and pretended not to notice.

A kiss for my poor mom.  She is going to miss me.

Following Ryan, my bus buddy!

I think these two might both be missing me today.

The big day is here!!  I am off to Kindergarten.  I woke up bright and early this morning at 6:40 and I looked at my mom and said, "This is the best day of my life.  I start Kindergarten and I start dance."  I had french toast and strawberries for breakfast and then took a shower and got dressed in my new school clothes.  Then I posed for a few pictures and headed down the street to the bus stop where my friend Simone was already waiting.  We hung out for about 10 minutes before the bus came and as soon as I saw it, I was ready to go!  I'll report back at the end of the day to let y'all know how it went!
