We have a first grader!



























Mekayla started 1st grade last week! Her teacher's name is Mrs. Goodrich. This is her teacher's first year teaching, so she is pretty young. Mekayla really likes her and is so eager to learn! Even though she says the homework every day is too easy! She is doing great and seems to be making quite a few friends-even though she claims she can't remember names yet! Her first day she didn't have a whole lot to say like she was quite overwhelmed or something, but she is pretty talkative these last few days and it seems like she is really enjoying herself! Tepaynga cried everyday last week that Mekayla went to school because her best friend was leaving everyday all week! She has found it hard to find others her same age here in the complex to play with during the day! She is getting better thought! Here is a picture of Mekayla's first day!

Jeni,

Your girls are so adorable. Mekayla looks so happy to be going to school. Soon Tepaynga will be playing with her big sister at recess. I can't wait to do back to school shopping with my kids someday!
