Welcome to Kindergarten....

Today(Wed.) was Madeleine's first day of Kindergarten and she did so great....

She had her backpack set the night before, she picked out her own clothes and picked out her own snacks for lunch.. She was so excited herself, I think I had the hardest time... But I know she will do well and we are so proud of her....

So off you go....(sigh)..... :)



and she is off....

only she knows what she was thinking at this moment... ;0

Ryder welcomes her home with big hugs and a bunch of flowers

Ohhhh this gives me such anxiety and my daughter won't go to Kindergarten until next year! Like you said, I am sure I will have a harder time then she will. :)

THe first day if kindergarten was pretty tough for me when my oldest went. But the when the others went it was a lot easier. I love the picture of her walking down the hall and the flowers are such a fun idea.

Oh man...kindergarten. I can't believe she is old enough for that! Looks like you made it a great start for her mama...you're the best. :) And she looks so cute in her outfit.

Thank you ladies for the comments... it was so hard for me, but still so excited at the same time....

She was actually waiting for me to leave, believe it or not... My little firecracker... :)

What a beautiful little girl! I am reminded of my own little girl starting school twenty-four years ago. She is still my little girl even though she is all grown up now. Thank you for sharing your wonderful photography and your special day.
