5 For Hope

And So It Begins.

A full recap on the day's events to come, but for now, here's our little kindergarten girl headed into school for her first day.

This dress was a 2nd choice.  The first choice of dress ended up being too big/long in the straps which resulted in a potentially embarrassing show of too much skin.  Ahem.  We are NOT going for that look.  EVER.

So, a quick trip through the closet and Mom pulled out this number and it was deemed acceptable.

Shorts underneath to allow for all the playground shenanigans that are sure to ensue on a first day of school's recess adventures.

Breakfast out with Mom and Dad and a new friend and his Mom and Dad and she was set.

Let her make the choice of when she was ready to enter the school's gym and go wait for her teacher below her teacher's color coded symbol.  She was the first kid to enter the gym on her own...that's my girl!

More exciting updates to come.  We'll recap the first day soon.

I also think Daddy has a pretty telling photo of her exiting the bus after her first day, so be sure to check back soon!

Give Me A "K"

I do remember promising with the last update that I would do better than a once-a-month post.  If you will look at your calendar, you will find that I am one day ahead of the month deadline and, if I post 1st Day of School photos this week, I will be well on my way to breaking this abysmal blogging drought.

In the past month, some things have remained frustratingly the same while others unraveled at the seams and had to be patched or refashioned into something completely different.

Join me after the jump for this month's Fort W. news.
