1st day of 1st grade

How in the whole is Hailey already in 1st grade?!?!?!?  I promise you just yesterday she entered this world.  It's so true what everyone says about time going faster when kids are in school.

She was so excited for the first day.  I'm so thankful that she loves school.  For about 2 weeks before school started every morning she would ask me if it was time for school yet.  I hope this is how she will be when she is in high school also.

 The backpack was a huge deal this year!!  We went to 4 different stores before finally picking one.  She didn't want a character backpack this year :(  How does that happen in 1st grade?

and she is off :(  Another year that will pass by too quickly :(
