Keeping Up With The Jones': New Beginnings

Over the past couple of months there have been some big changes at the Jones house! Abby started school at Dierks at the end of March. She was very excited about this, mainly because she has wanted to be a cheerleader ever since Kendall started cheering for Mt. Ida and this was her chance...LOL

On her last day at Kirby, her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Mounts did the sweetest thing and sent Abby on an "errand" so her classmates could write her goodbye letters (each page had the students picture along with their note...such a good idea) that she put in a book along with pictures of Abby with her class. The letters were so funny and sweet. The pictures are the ones that are in the book since Mrs. Mounts e-mailed them to me as well.

Her class waving bye! Thank you to Mrs. Mounts for making this such a special day that she will have such sweet memories of!

Fast forward to the next Monday....first day at Dierks! She was really excited...I was a nervous wreck! Not only was she starting a new school but just a few days before, the daycare in Dierks called to say they had an opening for Mylee (we had been on a waiting list for several months so I could help Brooke at the farm....definately a full time job), so she started on the same day! Thankfully, Mylee's daycare is WONDERFUL and she loves it and Abby has made all kinds of friends at Dierks. The very first week if we stopped at the grocery or dollar store on the way home there was always someone saying "Hi Abby!" She loves it there and is excited about all the activities that they do. So far her only complaint is that at Kirby they got to go get a drink at the water fountain all at once and at Dierks they have to go two at a time...LOL

Getting ready to go in for the first day!
