here we go again....



tomorrow kate will become a first grader!
i have no idea where the summer has gone. i just give thanks for all of the good times and for all of the great memories.
this afternoon right before we had to take mika back to the airport we swung by oakley elementary school for meet your teacher. good news folks, kate seems to be thrilled with her teacher (yeah for mrs. dotson) and with the fact that two of her favorite pals, krista and henry will be joining her.
kate has been teary and a bit nervous this past week. asking a lot of questions about first grade, riding the bus and the teacher's expectations of her. no doubt a week from now things will be business as usual for this brave and ambitious child but the remainder of this week could be a bit rough. if you have a minute send a little love her way.

Kate will do wonderful as a first grader. Let her know that Mr. Jeff, Mellie and Andrew send our love and wish her the best on her first day. I still can not believe that she is in first grade.

watching kate this summer left no doubt in my mind that she is a willing and ready 1st grader! i only wish my 8th graders were as willing and ready as she is. We miss and love you--judd, melissa, and camryn
