Thanks family and friends for all your prayers and positive vibes on behalf of Ella. She started second grade this morning, and you can see by the way she's clinging onto me and Stephanie in the photos, that she was a little unsure and anxious. When we arrived we were excited to see that she got Mrs Yoo as her teacher, and many of her friends were in her class. She ended up walking into the classroom holding hands and laughing and talking with her friend Emily. I'm sure the two of them will have to be separated, but it was good to see her enter the class room happy and confident. And Kath and I walked home feeling a sense of peace about the coming year.
