First Day at Indian Springs Elementary

The kids started school on August 15th this summer.  This was a big day in our house as they each started a new school year but they did so at a new school.  Everything is new for Quinn since she is a kindergartner but I was nervous how Nolan would adjust in second grade in a new building.  Luckily all of my worries were wiped away when both kids had a great first day and have been thriving ever since.  Both of them love their new teachers, are making friends, learning the ins and outs of their their building, and riding the bus like pros.  I am so thankful they are comfortable and happy at their new school.

Fresh hair cut for Quinn at Sweet n' Sassy.

Heading into open house with the crew.

Nolan checking out his classroom.  He is excited to have a male teacher this year and knows a couple of boys from baseball in his class.

Our big kindergartner.

Lunches packed and ready to go!

Night before kindergarten.  Quinn looks sick because she was.  She woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and I was so sad she was going to miss her first day.  However, she popped out of bed the next morning and said she wanted to go so I let her and she was fine.

Heading to the bus stop.

First time bus riders.  It's a weird feeling going from driving or walking your kids to school each day to letting them get on a bus and hoping they make it to where they are supposed to be.  Somehow, someway they do it and I'm proud of their independence.  

Quinn had a parent orientation on the first morning and then I headed home to the quiet of a house with one sleepy newborn.  I always count down the hours until they get home that first week.

They made it!!  Quinn says she likes kindergarten but it's too long (full day).  Nolan likes computer class and gym :)
