The Big Day

With mixed emotions we recently welcomed the first day of kindergarten. Abbie was estatic. I on the other hand met the day with a small amount of sadness knowing my little girl was growing up and taking the first step on the long journey to independence. The first day began later than usual with the parents bringing the kids to school for an orientation. We left half-way through and Abbie later took the bus home. Nathan kept asking, "Where's Abbie?" the whole time she was gone. He was excited to have her back home that afternoon. I think we all were.
