Rachel is SO excited. After meeting the teacher on Monday night, Rachel REALLY wanted to go to school yesterday. Last night she filled out a questionnaire for her teacher:
Favorite thing about school: my teacher*
Favorite color: pink
Favorite food: pizza
Favorite show: Scooby Doo
Favorite animal: giraffe
What do you want to be when you grow up? cowgirl
*good girl following after her mother's footsteps ~ kiss up :)
Craziest part about today was that I didn't cry. I know! Brandon says I'm heartless. In my defense, I think that her two weeks of going to summer school at Ishikawa really helped me adjust and know what to expect. I am just really excited for her, because I cannot provide at home what she'll get from school. Of course I will miss her - she's the cutest 5 year old I know and she's my best buddy. She is so helpful at home and plays with Andrew and Kendall so well. They will miss her SO much! Crazy to think that Andrew will be home with me for 3 more years before kindergarten because of how their birthdays fall. p.s. She picked out her own backpack - it's Hello Kitty.
Yesterday was the last day of summer (not in the heat sense, but you know what I mean), and we had a great day! It rained in the morning, so we played out back (the monsoon season has been weak this summer, so we were happy). While running errands, we found a splash pad. Hmmm...we didn't have swim suits or a change of clothes, so I warned them that if they got wet, they would have to be happy and deal with it. They got soaked (even Kendall), and they had a blast!! We got back to the car and they stripped down to diapers/underwear and rode home without any clothes on - they thought it was the silliest thing ever. Last night we had a special back to school dinner and got everything ready for this morning. A good end to a great summer, and hopefully the start of a fantastic new school year.

She is so cute! I love that you didn't cry. You have faith and you know that God is in charge and you have her in a good school. I hope I don't cry either. I plan on cleaning my whole house to keep me distracted. Sami asked me to pray for her while she is at school and that about broke my heart.
She is adorable!
Wh. . .what?! In school already? Rachel Faye is such a ready little student and will likely be doing a lot of the teaching herself! You are terrific parents and have prepared her for school success.
She looks so big and grown-up with a backpack on! Yay for Rachel! She'll be great in Kindergarten
I can't believe our babies are in school! Rachel is so cute. I'm so glad she is excited for it. Blake starts in 3 weeks. Remember when we first hung out in Chicago? I think Rachel was 4 months and Blake was 3 months old. And now they are 5.
