First Day of School
Today is Shannon’s first day of kindergarten. She is attending Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School right here in Huntington. Over the previous two days I spent about 6 hours at the school for various orientation activities. Monday was a kindergarten orientation for parents only. Yesterday was the whole school’s orientation for students and parents; Shannon and I were there for about 3-4 hours. We signed up for some volunteer activities, she met her teachers, got used to her classroom, setup her wall-locker and her desk, and met some of her classmates. With all of this already under her belt it was no wonder that this morning, once she arrived, she was basically pushing Lisa out the door with goodbyes so she could get to business. Lisa, undoubtedly, was more distraught than Shannon was about this milestone in her young life. In commemoration Lisa took some photo’s which I have uploaded for your viewing pleasure.

Oh my, is that a uniform she has on? How cool is that?! (I wish they were mandatory nationwide I think they make so much sense!)
Congratulations to the parents on getting thru that!
I remember when she was just a little bug in a snugli.

She looks darling! I need to know how princesses get used to wearing uniforms, because I’m wondering if Lilly will want to wear something more regal when kindergarten time comes. Maybe by then she will be reasonable -HA! Anyway, best wishes to Shannon. She will shine like a diamond, I’m sure.
