This week Ellie started 1st grade. She was a little nervous, but she perked up a lot when we told her that she would get to eat lunch at school. Apparently that sounded REALLY fun. :-)
This is Ellie's best friend. They were in kindergarten together, and now they are in the same 1st grade class. She moved here from Korea in the middle of the semester last year and didn't speak any English. She was the most morose little thing I've ever seen...never got excited, never smiled. Ellie took to her immediately, and they managed to communicate pretty well without words. They would hug and hold hands while walking home from school. :-) Slowly she learned the language, and now she is quite the talker! We feel blessed to have her in our lives as a sweet little friend.

What a sweet story of making a new friend feel welcomed and loved! Hope she's enjoying 1st grade. Is Benji missing her?
