First Day of School 2010

The time has finally arrived, whether with excitement or not. School started for us August 23. I have all my elementary kids in the same school this year. And Ethan has moved on to middle school.


We had our special family night before school started and enjoyed listening to what the kids were excited for or nervous about. What stands out the most was when Ethan said he wanted help with not be tempted and with being organized.

Rachel 4th grade-4 feet 11 1/2 inches

Lauren 1st grade-3 feet 10 inches

Here they all are. It is always interesting to me to see what they pick out to wear the first day of school. You can't see very well in this picture, but there were lots of puffy eyes this morning.

I just loved to see this excitement. It wasn't there her first day of Kindergarten.

With this school being a 1/3 the size of their school in Texas, we didn't have to park too far away on the first day of school to take our kids to their new classes.

For some reason elementary school starts earlier this year, like at 7:55. Which also means that if they want to ride the bus they have to be at the bus stop at 7:14. Way to early for this family. However, Ethan doesn't have to be at school until 8:25. So after we took the others to school we came home to say good-bye to Ethan. He didn't need us to take him to school and always loves to ride his bike.

Have a Great Day Ethan in Middle School!!

Oh Middle school please be good to my little boy.
