Gracie's First Day of 1st Grade

Gracie has anxiously been awaiting this day. She was going to be going to a bigger school which meant more friends and a lot more fun things to do. Here she is hamming it up for the camera before we left for the bus.

But I will let everyone know that the first day of school did not end so well. Gracie's bus has a total of 2 stops so you can imagine how many kids get on and off at each stop. So that was a little frightening for her. But not a big deal. Until, she didn't get off the bus after school. I was frantic and wasn't sure what to do. Do I wait at the stop, go to the school, go home. AHHH. I had my cell phone with me just in case the school tried to reach me for whatever reason. So Luke and I hopped back in the car(it was raining) and called the school. It felt like hours but I am sure it was about 15 minutes until they finally tracked her down. Her teacher whom she really likes so far had put her on the wrong bus. I was so happy that she didn't get off anywhere and just stayed put. We were both a big mess when I picked her up but I was so happy to have her in my arms.
