Emily starts second grade Monday and we are as ready as we can be! She has everything that she needs (and then some!), and we are all so excited, especially her! She loves school and is an enthusiastic learner!
We received the letter from her teacher this past weekend and we are so happy with the placement! It is what we had hoped for and what we, along with her first grade teacher, decided would work best for Emily! We also found out that her closest friends are in class with her as well, and Em can't stop talking about it!
We will have our annual "camp-in" this weekend. Our tradition is to have a camp-like dinner (hot dogs, beans, chips) and "camp" in the living room the Saturday before school starts. We also make s'mores over the firepit in the back yard (a propane flame works just as well!). It's a tradition that we someday plan to move to a real campsite in the mountains, but we have a blast and we are especially appreciative of the air conditioning!
In other news: Zach is finally home from the hospital and is doing well. They are still in need of prayer, and Zach isn't eating very well, but they are working on it and are thankful to be home.

Supplies, minus a few
These are NOT all new, but we're definitely stocked up!
Side note: Those are not empty hangers, they have tank tops on them
(empty hangers in between clothes is one of my biggest pet peeves)
She really wants to wear her new shoes (and I want a pair of those little Esprits!)
Happy Wednesday!

Great post! I love your "Camp In" tradition. I find that my problem isn't finding good ideas, but remembering to repeat them so that it becomes a tradition, but that's what they'll remember for years to come.
Have a great first day of school Emily!
I can not believe she is going to be a second grader. I remember the second part of 2nd grade and my teacher threw my pencil box on the floor and shattered it everywhere breaking everything. Meanless to say Virgil and Susan were not very happy.... and as you can tell I am still traumatized. Maybe this why I hate when my desk is a mess. Ha Ha Hope she has a great first day. Love the new shoes!- Auntie L
