Kara is officially a Kindergartener. I know its hard to believe. I still can't believe it. My fussy little baby who weighed a whopping 5 lbs 12 oz is a big girl heading off to school. I know I am doing this a little backwards blogging about her first day of Kindergarten before publishing our Disney trip. The problem is I have too many pictures I want to share from Disneyland.My sweet Kara Elizabeth...I should say "our" sweet Kara. Her daddy was probably the most anxious about this whole ordeal. He is such a wonderful daddy, he was the last parent to leave the Kindergarten room. Basically, Kara got on the school bus at Carly's bus stop (my sister-in-law's house Jessica/Griffin) and then we went straight to the school to only miss her getting off the bus. So we ventured inside the hallway to find her standing in line listening to her teacher - Mr. DeBruler. That's right a man Kindergarten teacher. He seems to be a very good teacher. They have two Kindergarten teachers that the students will both have for reading, art, music, PE, etc. Once Mr. D (that's what they call him) was finished accounting for all the students, into the class we all ventured (17 kids and just as many adults:-) Mr. D was great and let all the parents hang out in the back snapping pictures while he got the class rolling. The kids all did great - not one looked back at their parents (not even Kara). This bothered Jamin a little. I finally had to pry Jamin out of there (15 minutes into class). It was bitter sweet - she did it all by herself just fine, but that means she is growing up. Yes, I know she is going to grow up and we are very proud of her - its just an emotion - that's all. On the way back home Jamin and I both acknowledged that we are very excited about our new chapter in life. We love our family:-) Enjoy the pictures.

Good job Kara! We are so proud of you! We can't wait to see you & talk to you about you adventures at school.
Exciting and sad at the same time, they are growing up so fast. Great job Kara (and mom and dad:))!
Ya Kara! You will love kindergarten and you will love Mr. D! It would be fun to be sitting with Jamin at parent teacher conference:)
It was great to see you tonight! Way to go Kara! We are all so proud of you! I am sure Josh will be in tears when Kennedy starts Kindergarten. I know I will cry buckets.
It is so hard on the parents! It does make you proud to know that you two have done your job. But it is just so hard to let go! Tell Kara Auntie Kathy and Mackensie are excited for her and sure do love her lots!
