The First Day of School

August 7th was Lindsay's first day of Kindergarten and Hayden's first day of first grade at Desert Willow Elementary School. Here are a couple of shots taken on days 1and 2. Lindsay was very excited to start her year off with Ms. Scherf, the same teacher Hayden had last year. About ten minutes before we left for school, the school called to let us know Lindsay had been placed in the Spanish Immersion class. She broke down into tears because she had her heart set on being in her brother's old class. We took her to school kicking and screaming, however, as soon as she entered her classroom and saw the class pet, a rabbit named Oreo, her mood quickly changed. We left her with a big smile on her face. Speaking of smile, this was the first year Hayden went to his first day of school with a big smile rather than tears. He was so brave and confident. We were very proud of him! He is very excited to have his sister on campus with him now. They enjoy bumping into each other in the hallways and at assemblies. It's nice knowing they are there together.
