Shelby the 1st Grader!

Today was Shelby's first day of 1st grade. It was a 1/2 day with the first full day tomorrow. She had fun and is excited about going back tomorrow. That is always a good sign. Last night before bed they got their back to school gifts. Here are a few pictures from the night before and this morning.

Morgan starts preschool on September 1st. I will post her pics with her new books next week.

After we picked up Shelby at 11:30, I took them to Carl's Ice Cream for lunch and a treat. On the way to the van, Shelby tripped on the sidewalk and went down hard. She scrapped her knee pretty bad and the ice cream went flying. She is doing pretty good. Tonight was her first soccer practice and she said it didn't bother her. She was excited on the way to learn this was an all girls team that would be playing other girl teams. No boys! I asked her if she had fun and she said yes. She also said it was more fun than she thought it would be. We'll see what she thinks as she learns more about the sport, practices more and plays games. I think she will continue to enjoy it and be a good player. She has the ability to be one.
