Mattie & Layla's first days of 3rd and 1st grades!

Our school dayz started early this year - Aug. 3rd!  Mattie is in the elementary school this year!!  It is a whole new place for her and she LOVED it!  She went to 3rd grade this year and Layla went to 1st!  I. Can't. Believe. It!  Time has flown by and my girls are so so smart!  They help me now, like to go out to eat, and love to shop with me.  We are loving this age!  Mattie has Mrs. Jones and Layla has Mrs. Hussion.  We love both!!  I pray the girls have a wonderful year and stay eager to learn all they can!!  They are signed up for dance and soccer so that should keep us busy!  I'm thankful that I was still able to kiss my 3rd grader good-bye on her first day after walking her in! :)  It truly is the little things...
