First Day of School 2011-2012

Hello, fellow bloggers & readers! I have been MIA for quite a while and really have no good excuse. Well, I guess technically I could use the whole our-computer-got-fried-by-lightning excuse, but really, I wasn't blogging much before that either. But, as you saw from my last [sad excuse for a] post, my awesome husband bought me a macbook which I've been trying to learn to use, and am bringing you this first post from it. I'm REALLY going to try to be better about posting, and I may bombard you with several here in the next week which will likely be in reverse chronological order -- call it a backward glance at our summer, if you will. :) [I've also been neglecting reading all of your blogs, friends! LAME, I know...]

Miss Shiloh Ainslie missed her first true day of school this year because she was sick, but she started yesterday instead and of course Mom insisted on the obligatory first day of school pics in the morning. The weather was dreary (it began raining an hour or so later) but the subject was still pretty cute.

Shiloh's teacher this year at Whitefield is Mrs. Malone. We really like her! So far, Mrs. Malone has reported that Shiloh is "very sweet," "very talkative," and "mature." On the first day of school, Shiloh apparently worked very diligently trying to befriend a little girl in her class who missed her Mommy very much and was sad/clingy to the teacher. She said Shi did everything she could think of to make this little girl feel better, and Mrs. Malone even emailed the girl's mom to let her know about Shiloh trying to comfort her. I was very proud of my little girl with a big heart.

We're looking forward to seeing what the remainder of this school year will bring! YEAH!

Woot Woot! School!
