School Girls

My babies are growing up! Today was a very special day for the girls. Maddie embarked on the beginning of her school career with her very first day of preschool, in Mrs. Meier's 3 year old class (this is the same teacher Marin had last year as a 3 year old). Marin also started a new exciting year in Mrs. Sellke's 4 year old class. The girls are "next door neighbors" at school, and sometimes even get to have a recess together. What a special time in their lives. They were over-the-top excited to choose their outfits - even Maddie whose selection was mostly hand-me-downs - HOWEVER I have been saving these items for this day and she acted like it was Christmas morning! Maddie: "these are MY JEANS NOW?!?!?! i can't even believe it!!"... not sure how many years left I have of Maddie being excited about Marin's old clothes but for now I will relish the pure and innocent uphoria on her face as she received her older sister's well loved threads :)

Pictures include the family open house last Thursday and the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL today on their own. So proud of my most precious treasures.
