Ella's 1st Day of School

Ella had her 1st big day of school on Thursday! She loved it and Sophie and I are slowly adjusting:) Here are some cute shots of the morning before school.

Mom always had Julie and I hold up one finger on the first day of School. I think that she took our picture every first day of school through our Senior years!! She probably would have done that in College too if it hadn't been 3 hours away in Fayetteville:)

Her little sassy pose!

Sophie had to get in on the pictures too. She even wore her backpack into the school and around the Mall today. She already wants to be like her big sister.


She loves school already and her great teacher!

Sophie wanted to pose with her backpack too!

The 3 amigos are finally in school together, Ella has wanted to be in school with them for a long time now!

Aunt Julie snapped a quick family pic before we dropped off Ella. This is before Sophie's big meltdown for "her Ella!" She balled leaving the school and wanted to go see "her Ella" most of the 1st day. Tadd said he was so surprised that she cried more than I did. We both managed to make it through 2 days without her, but with a lot of shopping:) I'm just glad that Ella likes school and has adjusted so well! She has been up both mornings around 6 so ready to go (hopefully that early time will be adjusted soon-ha!)

It was a tough day with a lot of emotions and I had a lot of sweet friends and family check on me all day-thank you!!
