To start the day off right, after everyone was ready for the day, Emily in her new school uniform, John took the twins to pre-school while Emily and I hung out at the house for a few minutes to take some pictures. They we headed to Ihop to meet John for a first day of school pancake breakfast. After breakfast we headed by Publix to pick up an apple for her new teacher, Mrs. Ross, and then we headed to the school. On the way in, we saw lots of her friends and their moms. Once we made it in the school we headed to her class to put her pack back down and then we took her to the media center.

After school, I headed through the car pool line to pick her up from her first day. She said she had a great time!!

The first night was topped off with her first round of real homework. Wow how time flies!!
