7th Grade

Hallie is about to enter Junior High....

Unbelievable.

A friend of mine told me that your Kids' Elementary years go slow and 

Junior High and High School go super fast.

I sure hope not.  

I am really loving the age that Hallie is at.

She is so grown up, easy to talk to, very happy and content with doing pretty much nothing,

and she is really starting to grow into a beautiful young lady. 

I love our conversations and the little glimpses that I get into her world.

Watching her personality take fold and loving the person she is growing into.

I tagged along with Hallie on her "walk through" at her school 

 and considering she is going to be with her mom

on her first day, I thought I'd post about it instead of her first day. 

To say she is excited about Junior High is an understatement.  

She is ecstatic!!!!!!!

We made our way around her maze of a school and found her locker pretty easily.

We practiced a few times and after a few attempts she opened it successfully.

Finding her classes was another story though.

Hallie's school is incredibly confusing.

We were lucky though..... 

I ran into a former student who also happened to be the older sister

of one of Hallie's classmates and she gave us the grand tour.

She walked us through Hallie's entire schedule, from first period to seventh!

(Not that Hallie will remember any of it!!!)

After I took Hallie to Cold Stones to celebrate.

Hallie will officially start school on Friday, the 19th.

Her school starts just the seventh graders a day earlier than the 8th and 9th graders,

so they can all be lost and confused together......With out all the older kids laughing at them!!!

I'm so excited and so proud of her!
