First Day of First Grade

 Josie started her first grade year at Schmitz Park on Wednesday September 4th.  Look at how mature and poised she looks!!  She is amazing at starting new things.  She embraces it completely and has no apparent fear or trepidation. She is such a beautiful girl inside and out.  We are so proud of the young lady she is becoming.

A quick pic with little bro. 

 And a couple blurry ones of her posing by her locker.  Lockers are new to her this year.  Because she was in a portable last year she didn't have one so this year her locker is extra special.  Her teacher this year is Ms. Crozier and she had come highly recommended.  She had a baby in the summer so she was on maternity leave up until last week - November 18.  One benefit of being so behind on the blog is that I can write the update while I write the original blog post.  While Ms. Crozier was on maternity leave Josie had a great long term sub named Ms. Klein.  We have been happy with both teachers so far.

Here's to a very fun and successful first grade year for our little girl.

Just found a few more first day photos.  Marty had jury duty that day so he took a few photos before he was off on the bus.
