Kindergarten!!

Today was Mae's 1st day of kindergarten! A big milestone for our mighty Mae. She was excited, confident, and ready to learn when we dropped her off. When I picked her up she was singing the praises of kindergarten and was just as happy as the morning. First day of school a success…check. 

I tried to get a shot of her standing on the stairs but the sun was so bright that this is what she looked like. 

Our neighbors. Mae will be at school with JP, who is in first grade. Whitaker and Taylor are both 4. 

Mae's neighbor friend, Cate, greeting each other on the walk to school. My heart definitely skipped a hundred beats. They are also in the same class!  

She has the look of being mortified already of her mother. 

Our neighbor works at the library at the school and Mae greeted her on the way into school. 

Walking away from me and starting her next great adventure. 

Heading into class. 

Whitaker didn't want to be left out and insisted on a final hug.
