Hooray!  First day of first grade = success!  It was a fantastic summer and I'm so sad that it's over.  Summer school classes, swim lessons, Door County, bike rides, hikes, trips to the pool, zoo, playing with friends and hanging with our favorite lil dude, Sully.  Being a teacher means I don't get to see them get on the bus or see them get off the bus, which makes me teary for the first few days of school. Thank goodness Roger can make his schedule work out so at least he is here for them!  I'm so proud of my little people.  They are incredible, smart, funny, kind, inquisitive and love learning.  They are also being brave this year and conquering first grade without each other.  Yes, we decided to separate them this year.  They were both a bit apprehensive about it but their classrooms are right next to each other and after today, I'd say everything's going to be alright:)
