Race day

We all got up early this morning to see a special guy run the Rochester Half Marathon.

Preschool begins

We visited the classroom and teacher together Monday. Kate stays for an hour and a half today. Friday is the first full 3-hour morning.

Fingers crossed that everything is going well in the classroom right now!

Off to first grade

Everybody was so eager for school this morning that kids and parents where outside waiting at least a half hour before the bus arrival time. Then the bus was (as expected) 20+ minutes late so we had a long time to stand around in our driveways.

Ready for first grade.

Hug good-bye.

Molly and two neighbor girls on our street gathered in an impromptu bus stop --  because who wants to wait alone?

There they go!
