Krissy B. Jones

Last year in school Krissy got to dress up like a character from one of her favorite books. She chose to dress up like Junie B. Jones from Junie B. Jones: Captain Field Day. I think these have to be some of my most favorite pictures ever! Doesn't she make a cute little nerd?

first day of second grade

Krissy's first day of second grade! This year we made the big switch to our neighborhood school. Krissy is adapting very well. We are busy missing our cousins, grandma and old school friends though. She cried about that in her bed the other night...and I wanted to cry too because I miss 'em just as much. But, she is making new friends and is so resilient. I am so proud of her!

A new school (without the luxury of having grandma around 24/7) meant a new cellphone. Can you see how delighted this little girl is? And can I tell you how delighted I am everyday at lunch when she calls me on it? Diabetes has it perks ;).

She is one special, confident young lady. I can't believe how fast she is growing up.

The proud momma!

The teachers cheering on the kids...welcoming them to the first day of school!

A few of our neighborhood buddies that showed up at the same time.

Look at those teeth :).

And so, our new adventure begins!

parents and pastries

We went to the school for Parents & Pastries...for us it was also cousins, an aunt and an uncle too...but no pastries! They ran out due to better-than-expected-turnout. So, we took the girls to Krispy Kreme for our own version. No one was complaining!

Donut Day

Donut day was one of our favorite school days from Kindergarten...a story about Arnie the Donut, a trip to the park, and a big donut to eat...what could be better than that? Grandma invited Kendall to come along too and it was so fun to see her run with her big sister and have such a great time.

We are enjoying summer vacation, but we already miss Kindergarten so much. I totally cried the last day of school. I cried the first day of school too. What is wrong with me? We had such a great experience this year and are so thankful for Grandma Dennae.

Happy Valentine's Day

It was my turn to be the mother-helper for the Valentine's party. Kendall and I ended up spending the entire school day with Krissy's class. Kendall was in heaven! Grandma, aka Mrs. Adams, treated her just like she was part of the class. It was so fun to watch Krissy & Christian and watch them interact with all their friends. It was also great to see Grandma in action. What a fabulous teacher! We feel so lucky to have Krissy in her class.
