The First, First Day

SO much to catch you all up on.  I have been in Iowa and Arkansas visiting family and have so many pictures and things to tell you about.

BUT FIRST...

IT IS SARAH'S FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!

She is ready to go.

She is in the Marching Band this year.  She has been working SO hard in the heat learning the drill.  Originally she was just supposed to be in the percussion pit because she was in Iowa during band camp, but there was a last minute clarinet position open and they needed her to march.  She has been furiously learning all the stuff she missed and is doing GREAT.  Such a positive attitude even in the heat.  She was smart enough to bring her backpack with all her folders and books the other day during band camp so all she had to bring was her clarinet and lunch.  They had to do a little performance today so she had to wear her band t-shirt.  She was allowed to bring a change of clothes but she didn't want to...she was proud of her band shirt.  I am so proud of this girl!!

Snuck one more before she got out.  Look at that smile, she will make tons of friends.

One last shot...off she goes.

I promise pictures from my trip later and a video of my niece Abby reading a book...be ready to have your heart broken into a million pieces.
