First Day of School!

Today is the first day of school! Woo hoo! Hailey and Rion were the first to get up, of course. Hailey was pretty nervous during the night and ended up throwing up in the toilet (yay, she made it to the toilet), but she was just fine when we left. Eric went in late to work so he could share in this fun day. When we got to school, we went to Hailey's classroom and got her name tag, then they went out to play. Rion found his little group and they congregated in the field like they were 5th graders instead of 4th graders. Too funny. Haily ran off to the color playgroud and made a new friend. Emmitt and Emma from her preschool joined her shortly after. When the bell rang, Rion ran off to his class line while Hailey lined up in hers for the first time. She was all smiles, unlike some other kids in her line. One little girl looked like someone took away her favorite doll. Poor thing. We are so proud of how Hailey was holding up. I can't wait to talk to her after school! Here are the pictures from this morning.

So big...I can't believe they are all back in school already.
Matt is going to do concrete work in N. Dakota. He has started traveling a bit until the market returns or picks up.
It's all good.
