An Eerie Silence...

7:15 am and all is quiet. Why??? Because 3 kids are off to school and the remaining kiddo is still asleep! After all of the fun we've had together this summer, this is going to take some getting used to. Last night, I started to check the movie schedule before I realized that it was a school night!



Taylor is off to 7th grade! When I taught 7th grade several years ago, I couldn't imagine having a child that age. Now, here we are! Notice that I had to take the picture inside so nobody in the neighborhood would get the crazy idea that he has a mother that loves him...

Audrey is off to 4th grade but looks like she could pass for a 7th grader-She is taller and weighs a bit more than her brother! She is a bit nervous about having a male teacher this year for the first time but I'm sure he'll be great and she will do fine.
Then there's my little Noah. He's off to first grade and will be gone for the whole day for the first time this year. It was really more difficult to send him off today than it was to send him off for his first day of Kindergarten. After he met his teacher last Saturday at the 1st grade treasure hunt, he exclaimed, "Mom, my teacher is from the old west!!!" She has a really thick Texas (?) accent.


And they're off!

I love it! They all look so cute. We go meet our teachers tomorrow, and start on Monday.

Your kids have grown up so much since we moved! Caleb was really bummed he couldn't get together with Taylor before school started. Thanks for thinking of him. Let's get our families together sometime!
