First Day of School

Finally! Here are first days!

Merry's first day of 2nd grade: she declared she didn't want us to drive her to or pick her up from school. Ms. Independence with stoic face and determined stride.

Elspeth's first day of preschool: she'd been chomping at the bit for weeks, and Martin could barely get her attention to say goodbye once they got there.


They left without a backwards glance, both of them. A sign of things to come, I think.

Bea and I went home, danced for a while, and then had some tea and cake with a friend. Hoorah!

What wonderful pictures!
Ah the memories you are building!
Merry is looking more and more like her Aunt Heather I think.

Love these pictures. Love these girls. Can't wait to hear how school days are going.

Books arrived. They are a big hit. Corin belly laughs over the cat's father's name: Potato Who Disappeared.
