A Day of Firsts...



It was a day of firsts for the Gillespies this morning.  The most exciting for all of us was Sadie's first day of Pre-K.  She started this morning at Gabe's school in the dual language program.  She was so excited and had a great day.  She came home saying that she learned Spanish.  She said, "Uno, dos, tres, quatro, banana."  Gabe said, "Banana?"  She said, "Yeah Dad, it means Thank you."  Banana, denada, they're close right? Gabe started his first year teaching third grade today.  Of course it was great.  He is such a natural teacher.  I had my first school day as an Assistant Principal.  It went really well and I am loving it.  Our only mishap for the day was that we put dinner in the crockpot this morning and forgot to plug it in, so it turned into a pizza night.  Not bad for a first day!  

 

 

 

Sadie (and Gabe's) school started standardized dress this year.  We are thrilled and loving not having to decide what Sadie (or Gabe) will wear every day. 

 



Of course Claire had to have a backpack too.  She thinks she is just sooooo big.

Here we are walking in.  I was so grateful that Carla was there to snap a picture.  .
