Davis' first day of school was the best first day of school EVER. We found out very last minute that we were going to be able to leave West Virginia a little earlier than scheduled, so I made some phone calls and found out that Davis could start school the next day, which just happened to be the field trip to the circus. We left West Virginia PACKED into our little car and pulled into Oneonta around 11pm. Our sweet friends Jim and Linda (who are really more like family to us) let us stay with them for that first weekend. Prepare for picture overload as we relive Davis' first day of school!
Here is Davis that morning. He was very excited!
The three of us. Keep in mind, it was very early after a very late night
Davis with Jim and Linda. The two precious people fell in love with our sweet baby Davis the first time we moved here when Davis was three months old. These three people have a very special bond that is absolutely priceless.
Linda, Davis and I finally made it to the school. (Linda teaches 2nd grade at OES and she was so sweet to walk me thru the registration process) As we walked in the door, we saw so many people that we love and have missed for these 18 months. One of those people is Rosemary. Rosemary and I became friends right off the bat in 2004. We are so much alike and have so much fun together. SO many memories! The best thing is that her little girl, Taylor Rhea, and Davis are also best buddies. This picture is Davis and Rosemary in the school office. Let's just say lots of tears were shed by 8am that day!
This is our own little angel. This is Mrs. Anderson, Davis' teacher. She has been so precious to Davis, helping him adjust to big school with that perfect blend of compassion and expectation. She is our answered prayer!
Davis got to ride the bus to the BJCC and he had the best time! When we got there I asked him what his favorite part of the bus ride was and he said "The Quiet Game" Now that is a great teacher - one who can even make a quiet game fun. Once we got there, we had to wait on the doors to open. Davis and some buddies from preschool were reunited.
Mrs. Anderson bought each child in here class a clown nose. This is a picture of Davis in his

Everybody loves The Ringmaster!
This was Davis' favorite part - shooting the man from the cannon
After the circus, we met up with Wendy and Ethan. Davis and Ethan have been like peanut butter and jelly since they were in the bed baby room at day care. You all know how hard our moves were on Davis, but us moving from Oneonta was also hard on Ethan. It has been the sweetest thing to watch them together since we moved back. Adults can learn so much from children. They picked up right where they left off. The best part of Davis' friendship with Ethan, was that I gained an amazing friend in his mom Wendy!

This was the perfect end to a perfect day! All is right in the world!
