Kindergarten ROCKS!!!

I can not believe we have been in school for four weeks!!!  And are well on on our way into September!!  I am dreaming of all things pumpkin spiced, cute booties and comfy sweatshirts:)  #ilovefall  

So let me get to business on updating everyone with Greer and all things SCHOOL :)  WELL... Greer absolutely LOVES it!!!  She tells us it's not long enough!!!  Loves having Daddy time on the ride to and from.  Recess time is her favorite as well as lunch and we hear "Brielle" a lot ;)  Fun Fridays she calls them are a hit!!  Apparently Mrs. Pickett is just the next best thing to a jar of a Nutella and Mondays are for Music.  So basically she is rocking this Kindergarten thing!!  

I knew from the night of open house God had prepared the way for her to have an awesome start!!  

We met up with Daddy, so he could escort his princess.

 

We joined the countless other parents, children and teachers in the gym for a warm welcome from Mrs. Byrne, principal and then we were off to find Greer's classroom!!  She walked in and owned the place!  And as any of you that know Greer, know that is not her.  She normally has to take everything in and then decides she will "wade in".  Not this night...she had places to go and friends to meet!!

 

Could not love them more...nope...just couldn't!!

Mrs. Pickett you are an answer to this Mama's prayers since day one!! 

All smiles for back to school!!

Me and my girl

Mrs. Byrne may have an assistant to help her this year??

So Open House was a success, but there was one more matter of business we had to take care of before classes began....the official back to school hair cut!!!  

I wasn't sure I was ready for this, but Greer was so we went with it!!

And oh how precious it is!!!

Perfect for the life of a busy kindergartner!!!

Thanks Nen Nen...we love you bunches!!!  

To savor every ounce of sweetness Summer could offer us before that Monday,  Poppa treated us to snow cones!!!

How did you go from baby to my kindergartner over night??

I promise I just blinked;(

Here she is all ready to rock her first day of Kindergarten on Monday!!!

Greer really has the perks...a personal escort every morning;)

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday...we made it!!!

Mama has perks too...friends that teach K right across the hall from Greer send me sweet pictures of my girl with her friends!!  Bethy boo...I love you!!!

We helped Ali celebrate #7 at her pool party that week too!!

By the 2nd week Mam and I were going crazy, we had to get up to that school and see what all the fun was about.  We made the excuse we were going to volunteer, but I'm not sure how much of that we did because we found these two cuties headed for lunch so we joined them:)

Our family has found a new normal.  Why did I ever doubt that we would??  God had it from day one!!  It has been pure joy to my heart to watch Greer form friendships, become more independent and have an eagerness to learn all things new!!!  Some days, yes my heart wants to cry when I think about all the time we shared just her and I.  But that's just it...I got to be present for EVERYTHING!!!!  So how can I be sad when God has blessed me with a front-row seat to watch her beautiful life unfold.  I just can't.  And the fact she tells her Daddy and I, "I never want to have a boyfriend or a husband.  I want to live with you forever!!"  Thankful. Grateful. Blessed:)
