gearing up for school

lela seems to be getting more excited as i get more nervous about school starting. we have exactly one week and counting till we're back in the groove of things. yesterday, confirmed that all of this is real and lela would definitely be going into the first grade at Welch Elementary. we received a postcard telling us who her teacher was and what room she was going to be in. she was giddy with excitement as we looked at the postcard together. there seems to be a lot going on at the school and that will be good for us all. come next thursday, we will offically meet lela's teacher and attend a family cookout sponsored by the pta. i'm laying low for the time being, you know it's only a matter of time before i'm involved there. oh goodness, here we go again...another school year seems to be upon us.
