Today is the 1st Day of School! Oh! I'm just giddy typing those words. Although I completely love and adore our children, I've just experienced my first 45 uninterrupted minutes since the first week of June! But this is not about ME - it's about THEM!
Abby started 6th grade this year, which means she's now attending middle school. Gasp! Cough! Here she is with Charlie before school. Don't you love her Brittish rocker look? She is precious!!

If you squint, you can see them heading through the door:

Noah is in 3rd grade now. This is his first year at Caldwell without Abby. I have a feeling he'll do just fine on his own! For the record, Abby helped him pick out his outfits for the week. Sooooo cute!

This is Mrs. Smithwick. She's filling in for Noah's homeroom teacher, Mrs. Farlow, who just had a baby 10 days ago. I wonder if we'll see Mrs. Farlow back at school - hmmmm... Don't you love Noah's back to school enthusiasm?!

Here is a video of Abby and Charlie just before we dropped them off:
Happy 2008-2009 School Year!

I'm thrilled with Bryn in kindergarten and Cody at preschool 2 mornings a week. I already wish I put him in 3 days a week rather than 2. My mom always jokingly told us after we went back to school the first day she sat around at sang "Happy Days Are Here Again." She just told me last week that she wasn't joking and now I can understand! By the way, do you think Bryn looks like your Abby at all? I think they look very similar, but Braden thinks I'm crazy.
Ohhh I remember the first day of school they all look so cute!!!! Good luck kiddos!!
Hey Kristen!
Sad, but true - it's a happy time. It makes me feel better that the kids were equally excited.
You're not crazy - I think Bryn & Abby have a similar look. It's the petite, blonde, adorable thing they've got going! I think Cathy said that Braden always reminded her of Tracy ... I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time!).
Families are so fun!
