First Day of School

As Angela began to get ready this morning at 6:15 for Sam's first day of school, there was a knock at the door. It was Samantha. Much to Angela's surprise, when she opened the door there stood Samantha in uniform and ready to go to school. She was just a little excited. She ate a good breakfast and even Shelby seemed excited for the day. When we took her to school she was sure to mention that she would like to get ice cream after school to celebrate her first day - a request I'm sure we'll fulfil.

When we got to school, we made our way through the busy parking lot, and meandered down the hallways passing all of the other nervous kids and anxious parents. We found Sam's room and got her settled. Samantha's teacher is going to be wonderful for her and all the kids. Sam will sit next to a girl named Grace - which is Sam's middle name - whose mom's name is Sarah - Ang's best friend's name. Both of these things seemed very comforting to know as Sam makes new friends and embarks on her wonderful education.
