Kindergarten!

A long-awaited day has finally arrived for Noelle; she is in kindergarten! After months of anticipation Noelle was absolutely bursting with energy this morning. I thought this may be a bittersweet milestone for me but, honestly, her excitement and joy were so profound that I was beaming for her, without a twinge of worry or regret.

The whole family went out to see Noelle off at the bus stop. Cora's excitement was almost as great as Noelle's!

The bus was, not surprisingly, running a bit late this morning. When it finally appeared Noelle practically charged it. No looking back! We did get a wave from the window, though ;)
  

Finally on her way
