Those are the heart-felt words Rachel shared with our neighbors two nights ago as she hugged them and told them goodbye before they moved away: "Goodbye Forever!"
She actually was really sad (she told me when we came in the house, "I'm super-duper sad that they can't come over to my house to play anymore."). It just sounded so hilariously flippant when she said it--we were all laughing. Not, "Goodbye, I'll miss you," but "Goodbye Forever!" Oh, Rachel....
We'll all miss Maddi, Reed, Izzy, and Penny, and their wonderful parents so, so much.
And just because Grandma bought her two cute back to school outfits (yesterday's and today's), and it's too cute not to share, here is a picture of her this morning, on her second day of school.
The first day was "GREAT!" she told me when she got off the bus. I got little bits and pieces of what happened during the day, but oh, how I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall. It was the LONGEST DAY EVER, in my opinion, and I looked at the clock SO many times to see if it was time to go pick her up. I'm sad to report that my daughter was the only person in the whole class to have to pull a card on the first day of school (they use different colored cards as their method of discipline--pulling one card is a "warning," so that's what she got). Way to start the year off, Rachel. UGH! She was messing with someone's supplies when she was supposed to be listening to the teacher. We drilled the rules into the ground last night and this morning, so hopefully today will be better! But I'm still happy that she enjoyed it and was excited to go back this morning.
