Paige's First Day of School--2008


The first day of school is always so exciting. But this...this was Year 1! In Germany it is an old tradition that when a child enters Year 1 they are given a Schuletutte to celebrate the beginning of their educational experience. A Schuletutte is a cone shaped, treat filled gift. It use to be only filled with sweets, but now it is a few sweets, school supplies and other fun things your child may be in to. Not only are the kids given these gifts, but they have all the parents, siblings, grandparents, neighbors etc. come to present it to the child. I didn't tell Paige about this event, so when we showed up for the big presentation of the Schuletutte, her face lit up with such excitement I will never forget it! At the close of the ceremony we all went outside to take pictures. There we had an opportunity to catch up on each others summers and meet the teacher who was new to BBS. There wasn't a whole lot for them to get use to, because these kids were in each others class last year. There are only two Year 1 classes and every year the class stays together when they move up. It was a lovely day that will always be special for Paige. Welcome to Year 1, Paige!

Hey Whit! This is so sweet. You all are getting to have so many wonderful experiences. Your girls will have such a unique family history to pass on to their children! I absolutely love it. I hope you are scrapbooking all of this (and not just digitally!)

Miss you!
