Coming and going from school

Ready to walk to school.  I love how Hattie has her matching lunchbox out.

The girls waiting for Elna to get off the bus.  Her stop is right in front of our house—love it!

There’s Hattie’s lunch box again.  Always wanting to be like Elna.  We walked to school the first month, because Elna really wanted me to walk her.  Eventually, she got over me I guess, because now she likes going on the bus.  I think when the weather gets better again I will push for walking again.  I love that they are pushing a doll stroller to school. 

The girls literally squeal when they see the bus and then they start running towards the sidewalk and jump up and down until she gets off the bus.  Then, so many hugs and kisses.  Luckily, Elna seems just excited to see her sisters and smothers them with love right back.  I love these girls!

This was after back to school night, in front of her school’s sign.  We have definitely started a new season of life with Elna starting school.  I think we are finally getting used to it, but man, it took some time for me to be okay with it.
