First Day of School!


Rachel bounded out of bed this morning when she heard my alarm go off. She exclaimed, "I've been laying in bed awake FOREVER!" I guess that means she was ready to go to school this morning! My big first grader, I can hardly believe it!


Casey dropped Rachel off on his way to work. I'm excited to pick her up and see how her first day went! Adam starts kindergarten next Monday, we get to see his class and meet the teacher tomorrow morning.



"Bye Rachel!" (Tommy was the only child awake to see her off.)

I wonder how many boyfriends will she have this year? I hope she has fun. That's enuff to make me cry seeing Tommy wave good bye.

Your garden looks so so nice in the back round.

I didn't realize Adam doesn't start until next week. Is he pretty excited? What will you do with 'only' 3 at home? ;)

How do you send them off? I'm already sad thinking about sending Jackson to school, and he has two more years!

How cute! I love First Day of School pictures.
Also ... does your hubby always dress up for work? I love seeing Ben dressed like that. I'm not sure if I could stand seeing him look so cute every single day, though. :)

Jenny- me too!

Sarah, I don't want to think about boyfriends. (Jesse the neighbor boy is in her class again this year- yikes.)

Steph- I'm glad Olivia was excited about school, too!

Laurie- I thought today was going to be easy with only 4, but Anna has been a little pill. She doesn't want to be put down and just cries when she is. She is finally napping now. :)

Amber- no special send off here, she fell right back into her old routine. Well, after she ate her breakfast she said, "Now what do I do?" I said "Go brush your teeth and comb your hair!"

Nice undies! hehe. He's too cute!

Kara said...

haha! Melissa, yes, he always wears a shirt and tie to work. He is a manager at a nice little restaurant. They do look handsome all dressed up, don't they!

Love the undie send-off with Tommy and I am so glad that she likes school. Mine were up really early, too. First day jitters made for two tired sons this evening.

Rachel is growing up so fast! Hannah was excited this morning too, although she tried to pretend she hadn't been laying in bed for hours awake.
LOVE the Undie Porch wave. I think if we all had one of those our days would be full of smiles :)
