I tried posting this last week, but right before I pressed "publish post" all of the pictures were erased and now they look like this. No more pictures, but a whole bunch of computer gibberish!! I'm still trying to fix it, but at least you can read about her first day for now! Sorry!!

Here she is! My beautiful Ella on her first day of Kindergarten! I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast! The night before her first day, Ella set our her outfit, we packed her lunch with some of her favorite things (a "Meat Sandwich" (ham, cheese, mayo, mustard, lettuce, and tomato), fruit snacks, cheese crackers, some marshmallows, and a CapriSun). Then, we had our nightly scripture study, read a few bedtime stories, said family prayer, and Daddy gave Ella and Avery a special Father's blessing.
The next morning, we woke up bright and early and got all ready to go! I think the picture above is my favorite from that morning! Ella is sitting outside of our complex as we waited for our Taxi. She looks so grown up!

Here is another one of her right outside of her school. And yes...that is Avery climbing like a monkey on the bricks. She's always a model child!

Behind Avery's cute little self, you can see Ella while she waited in line to walk in to her classroom. This is what they do every morning before school starts.

Ella wanted to be the photographer, so she took a picture of her Tinkerbell backpack. It's bright and glittery, which is perfect fit for her!

Here she is after her first day! A little raggedy, but happy!

Her teacher gave each of the students a special folder to take home each day. Ella's just so happened to be pink which she was very excited about!

The next few pictures are of Ella's classroom.

Ella loves to paint, so she was really happy to see this painting cart!

This picture is super blurry (which obviously means that I was not the photographer!), but here is the Pledge of Aliegance.

And finally, a shot of her playground!
Ella loves school but has one complaint...it's too long! The Kindergarten here in Korea is a full day, from 8am until 2:30pm. It will definitely take some time to get used to our new routine! I secretly think she's gone too long, too! I miss her terribly while she is away, and I know Avery does too! A part of me wishes she didn't have to go to school, and I could just keep her home forever! But I know she is where she needs to be!
Her teacher has told me several times how well behaved Ella is. She was the ONLY student in her class to go up to the "Blue" phase (that means she's a step above good behavior). I am so proud of her, and I know she is going to have a great year!

Awwwww, sweet Ella! Of course she's the most well behaved one....she always been so well behaved :) Sounds like things are going well for you guys. We miss you, though but know we'll see your cute pics on your blog (the girls think that's so cool!)
