LL's First Day of 2nd Grade!

Our first day of school was on a Friday (which I actually love a whole lot).  The night before school started, I told LL she could pick anything for dinner, and she picked a favorite for everyone - spaghetti and meatballs!

LL and I were up and ready to go by 6:30!  (Yep - it's terrible.  Hence why I look so tired - haha).

How sad is this?  We've learned that we can't take LL's "back to school" pictures at home...because it's still dark out when we leave.  That's how you know you leave at a ridiculous hour!  So we've learned to take them when we get to school.

Look at my girl!

We went shopping and she picked her first day of school dress out all on her own.  It was so cute!

I always walk with her to her class on the first day of school, and I'm planning on doing it through college - haha.  So she better get used to it!

She's ready!

Matt was such a sweet man to both me and LL.  He brought us both flowers the day before school started.  These are mine...

...and these are LL's.  So sweet!

He also handled dinner that night (my favorite - Panda Express), and he brought home a new dishwasher that night (random - but soooo needed!  Our other one was 9 years old and had gotten to where we could only run it when we were leaving the house because it was so loud.  It was louder than the military planes that fly over our house!)

We survived our first day!

A look back at all of LL's first days of school pictures - from pre-k 3 until 2nd grade!  I absolutely love seeing how much she grows each year.

Here's hoping to a great year in 2nd grade!!  You can take a look back at her other first days of school here:
