Ellena's First Day of School



Today is Ellena's first day of school - she attended summer school with Evan, but today is her first day without big brother in the class. She's such a clown.



This is probably a pretty accurate picture of what Ellena was feeling as we waited in the drop off line. A little sad, scared and nervous.



Drop off went pretty smoothly. Mrs. Robertson, although not one of Ellena's teachers, is still familiar to Ellena because she walked Evan into school many times over the last three years. Like a pro, she swooped in, unbuckled Ellena and helped her out of the car. They went to unload another student and then walked into school together. No tears, no fussing. I think Ellena was a little surprised with how fast it all went down. Pops is patting himself on the back since he believes it's his presence today that kept the tears at bay.
