First Day of 1st Grade- BIG GIRL STYLE!!!











This was one of the most mixed up days I have had emotionally. The past week has been hard trying to find it in my heart to "let go" of my Maddisen. I want her to have fantastic experiences and learn and be all she can be, but could she just not grow up so darn fast????? :) Well we started the morning off with a late start, but maybe that was for the better so I didn't have a chance to get toooooo MUSHY before setting her off into the world!!! She requested a home lunch (that made me feel special,,,,I'm sure that feeling will not be there some mornings when we are late for school) and had an outfit set out the night before. She was excited to see all her friends, but had to keep reminding her last year friends that she was Maddisen (because of the hair cut). Her teacher not only helped Maddisen, but myself as well feel comfortable. Maddisen asked if I would come eat lunch with her today so OF COURSE I joined her. When she entered she already had made new friends and they were hand in hand in the lunch line because they both had Tinker Bell lunch bags,,,so cute!!! I watched her as she ran out to recess feeling like we both were going to have a great year!!!! I love you Maddisen and I will be here waiting for you to get home from school to tell me all about your day!!!!

from Grandma: Maddisen, these photos and your mom's sweet story made me cry. I remember your Daddy's first day of school...that's funny huh! Tanya, you are so gifted with your style of writing and photography. You ROCK! I love to see what you have to share.

Oh...all day long! Sad! But I guess the day has to come sometime. I am sad that Mariko is even gone 3 days a week. I get so dang weepy about it. Can't imagine when I am sending her all day every day!
