First Day of School - First Grade!

Katie's a first-grader now and today was her first day at school. She's going to the same school she attended last year, so she's with many of her same friends and she's actually going to have the same teacher again this year. We're happy about that since she's a wonderful educator and Katie adores her. Katie is especially excited about school starting up again because now she can see her boyfriend every day. They fell in love last year and even though they did not see each other all summer, their love seems to have survived the separation. She's quite smitten with him, as you will see in the pictures below...
