Well, the kids headed off for their first day at Bridge Creek yesterday and overall it went well. When we picked up Nathaniel, and asked him how it was, his comment was, "Well, not so good." Most of the kids in his classroom weren't so hip on being his friend. They were more interested in catching up with each other. He said he felt like he didn't make a single friend. Chris and I encouraged him that it would get better. A lot of those kids were just excited to see old friends and that I was sure that someone would see what a great kid he was and he would have lots of freinds before he knew it. I felt bad, though.
Hannah, on the other hand, had a great day. She made 4 new friends and said her teacher was great. "Ms. Lauirence read all kinds of stories and my new best friends are Tory and Mattie." She was really excited about going to school today. I am so thankful.
Today the boys are going to see the new Star wars movie and Hannah and I are going to go skating. Something to celebrate them doing a good job and being brave at starting a new school.
Here are some picts of their 1st day!! Enjoy!!

Well I'm glad that their first day went pretty well. I wish that Nathan had a better day but I'm sure that it will get better! I love the pictures!! Nathan looks so cute and intelligent with the glasses!! I hope he stays positive til the other kids can get to know that he is a wonderful friend!
Love you all and hope you have fun celebrating the 1st day tonight.
Yeah for school! First days can be rough. Mine were interesting. I have some kiddos in my class. I can't wait to get the school year rolling. Nathan looks so grown up and intelligent in his glasses. Hannah is growing up too. Man it is so hard to believe that they are already in 2nd and 1st grade. Where did the time go? I pray that if it is God's will for you to get the job at the middle school, you will. can't wait to see ya!
Lots of love!
Karen
