I know... how in the world did Jenna get big enough to go to school?! She was SO excited! For months we had been listening to her talk about "when fall comes, I'm going to go to school!" And for months the time seemed so far away! But it arrived, and all too soon for me. Yes, I will admit that I got teary-eyed when she board the big yellow bus just down the street from our house, but I had to hold it together till we got home because there were about eight other parents at the bus stop that morning. When I got home, I did cry. Now it's just Olivia and me, and I will admit we miss Jenna. But, aside from all that, Jenna is having a blast at school. Everyday she comes home with something new to tell me and she likes to sit down and rattle through everything that happened. The girl loves to talk! The other day she was so proud of herself because the teacher had brought her popcorn and a certificate for already knowing all 31 "popcorn" words (simple sight words that the class is learning this year). Another day she told me that they were visited by a dolphin in class (of the stuffed variety) and that he comes to teach them manners.
I'm sure you want to see pics from her first day at school...
Anxious to get out the door to the school bus. She says the school bus is the best part of going to school because she doesn't have to sit in a car seat!
What a smile!
Waiting with her friends (Josey - 1st grade and Jaycee - kindergarten) at the bus stop.
Her teacher emailed all the parents pictures at lunch time on their first day. I wasn't surprised to see Jenna sitting front and center with a huge smile on her face.
Olivia was so excited to meet Jenna at the bus stop after school!
And this is the second day of school for Jenna and Robby's first day (he was recovering from a fever the first day).

Never fear, Sharon, you're on my Google Reader so I never miss your posts!
Jenna looks big, and might I say she and Olivia look kind of alike in the picture of the two of them.
Wouldn't it be fun to have Jenna and James in the same school class?
Her braids are so cute.
Will asks every singe morning where Molly and Dad are. He can't seem to accept the whole school and work thing.
Move down here and then Olivia and can play with us all day long!
She's so cute! I was impressed yesterday in Primary when she sang her solo. So fun to see her use her talent! (I've been on the verge of tears every time one of my kids starts school. Maybe by high school I'll get over it?)
She is so cute. As you know, we talk about Jenna a lot. She is such a cool, sweet, special girl.
I love the pictures, and especially cracked up that Jenna loves the school bus. Oh, how I hated riding the bus.
So cute! Why does she have a beach towel?
