While Waiting for Lunch to Arrive

Roxi: Let's pretend we were just married. And I am the wife and you are the husband.

Carter: Oh my goodness no, I do NOT want to play that.

Wow, That Was Fast

Since our last post was Roxi's preschool graduation, it seems only fitting that our return to the blog after a summer hiatus is her first day of kindergarten. What a big kid.

Roxi walked in there this morning like she already owned the place, which was no surprise to us. She had small tastes of school earlier this week, with a picnic Monday night and open house Tuesday night, and everything has been to her extreme liking. That's a good thing since she'll be spending every day there from 8:50 a.m. to 3:28 p.m.

Her new school is Bennett Elementary, and her teacher is the adorable, energetic Mrs. Lowndes. One of Roxi's classmates (out of 23) has been a friend for years - a fellow CSU preschool alum - and she knows several other kids at the school - some of whom are also preschool buddies in different kindergarten and 1st grade classrooms, and some of whom she met at summer camp. Knowing Roxi, I'm sure she'll have a slew of new friends by the time I pick her up this afternoon.

Good times for our social butterfly of a girl.
