Rory's First Official Day of School

After much anticipation and preparation, Rory's first official day of Kindergarten had arrived!

Here is the young scholar posing in front of Douglas MacArthur school (the sign says: "Welcome Back MacArthur Stars")

Within 3 seconds of escorting Rory to her designated gathering area, she had already spotted a friend (Sarah) and was saying goodbye to her parents.

Nonna and Pops were in town to help celebrate this big milestone with Rory. How perfect?... Ice cream at Pops.

Hmmm ... I guess they haven't covered "manners" in school yet.

It was overcast during Rory's first week at school.

Nonna and Rory put the finishing touches on a new piece of pottery.

Aven also enjoyed her time with Nonna, making "mud pies" in this particular picture.
