First Day of Kindergarten


Waking up at 5:30 is rough


Nervous and excited...

and still a bit sleepy!

Bus Stop


Everybody watched her maiden voyage on a school bus! Thanks to Nannie Barbara for all these wonderful pics.

Sasha likes to bark at large vehicles going by, but Julianne insisted that she join us.


We cross carefully. My heart and prayers go out to the family of Suk Maya, the little girl in Clarkston who was killed this week crossing the street with her mother to get on the bus.

In the Halls

These three mouseketeers from the neighborhood squeezed into the same seat together!

She rode the bus, but then we met her at the school to walk her to her room. (I know, I know!)


Heads down, hands grasped for comfort, they seem to think they're marching into doom!

Got to love the water turtles' antics.

Brown's Bears


She's very excited about kindergarten as a Brown's Bear!


Mom is in awe of the concept and execution of this beautiful outdoor classroom sponsored by the PTO.

Cafeteria orientation.

New Classroom





And so, the year begins.
