Seriously? She's a Kindergartener???

Can this REALLY be happening? How can my little baby girl be ready to get on the bus and go to kindergarten already?

Well, we had kindergarten orientation last night, and Meggan got to meet her new teacher, see where her seat will be (she's at the red table, which has a pretty vase with red flowers in it), and meet some of her new friends. She truly did seem to be on Cloud 9 ... hopefully she will stay there through the weekend and when she hops on the bus Monday morning! That will make it easier for both her and her mommy!!! :)


Meggan at her desk (notice the new "bob" haircut she got from Grandma yesterday afternoon ... she even blow-dried it and curled it under a little for her)!


Meggan and her new teacher, Mrs. Schoch (pronounced Shock), and Chester the raccoon from the story they read!

Meggan and Sara in their classroom! It will be so fun for these two to get to spend time together again!

I really, truly am NOT looking forward to Monday morning and sending her off on the bus for her first day of school. I just want to keep her under my wing and protect her from anything bad that could happen to her. I just want her to be happy and for this transition to be easy for her! I pray that God will help us adjust to her going to school on the bus and that everything will work out smoothly and easily for her to get on and/or off the bus at Nancy's house and no confusion will result!!!
On another note: Here's a picture of Jordan "helping" Jason put together a shelf we bought last weekend for the closet. It's just to hold more junk and keep it all off the floor (mostly blankets and/or pillows). It really does make a difference in there! And Jordan loved getting to help Daddy build it!
Of course, then Meggan wanted to go up there, but we told her that it probably wasn't really built to hold quite 40 pounds. Since Jordan only weighs 26 pounds or so, we thought that would be all right! She helped too, but she just had to do it with Daddy lifting her up there! :)

Jason is getting ready to head to Dearborn, Michigan, this weekend. They aren't leaving until tomorrow around suppertime, and then they will head home sometime on Sunday, even if they have to drive late at night. He wants to be here to watch Meggan get on the bus for the very first time!!! They will be playing in the World Tournament of Vintage Base Ball - I hope they have a great time, and play well!

Thanks for checking in on us. Check back on Monday, and I'll post her getting-on-the-bus pictures then! Until then, have a great weekend!

  1. My first impression of the first picture was that she looks just like Crystal!

  2. Trina,

    That's exactly what my mom says! Of course, she says that Meggan is MY mini-me, but she also talks about how much she looks like Crystal.

    I even call Meggan Crystal and call Crystal Meggan when she's visiting or we're back in Iowa and around at the same time... :)

  3. That's just because she has straight bleach blonde hair. And the fact that you both probably remember me very well as a 5 year old. You don't remember yourself at that age.
