Gettin' our Apple on...

Marley and I headed out on our first day trip without Layla (shh...don't tell).  We headed out to Lapacek's Apple Orchard for some fun with our friends Jill, Abigail, and Olivia!! 

Marley's First Day!

Marley started a new preschool this year.  We'd visited her new school 3 times in preparation for the switch.  She was very excited to have her picture taken and meet her new teachers and friends.  However, the day arrived...and so did ALOT of tears.  The tears have continued.  I should clarify...the tears have continued in the morning...but, once shane drops her off, she's fine.  She seems happy when i pick her up and excited to tell me about her day.  Every night before bed and every morning when she wakes up, she asks if it's a "stay home day or a school day".   "School day" isn't the answer she ever wants to hear.  She did hug her teacher and a few friends goodbye this week, which i'll take as a good sign.  She claims it's just not her "favorite" thing to do.  She's even come up with an original song about it.  Oy.

 

First Day of Kindergarten!

The pictures are clearly not in order, but can't quite figure out how to fix it!  I'm quite sure you can follow along, though!  :-)   We could not believe Layla was starting all day/every day school this year!  I had been overly ready for her to start school...however, the day before i got a little panicky.  I mean...my baby was going to SCHOOL.  Luckily, by the next morning, i was back to being ready!  :-)  She hit it out of the park...no tears, great day, and excited to go back!  So proud of our girl!!
