Back to School

I know I am late, but I did want to post the "First Day of School" pictures, or, at least, the ones that actually got taken. For some reason I never think to pull out the camera until the kids are already on the bus, or at the school. This picture was only taken because Steve thought of it. Here is the big Junior High Schooler, and the First-time-bus-rider. This picture was taken at the lovely hour of 6:30 in the morning...


This is where the picture of Sam's first day of Second Grade would go, if there was one, which there isn't because Steve had already left for work, and I forgot. But, we can pretend that this is Sam on his first day of school. He was smiling and excited to go. He was so ready to be a big second grader he didn't even let me walk him up to the school, I had to leave him at the corner.As soon as Sam walked away Sydney started crying. Sometimes you wonder if your children really do love each other, I guess they do...


Sydney also had her big first day of school, here is a picture from her orientation day, when she got to meet her teachers and see her classroom. I can't believe how big she is getting...
And this is her first official day of school with no Mom. She was a little nervous to have me leave, but she didn't cry which was an improvement from Orientation Day when she bawled when I left for the little Parent's meeting. Now, two weeks in, Sydney is upset if it isn't a school day. She is really loving it.


Just a little silliness...

This is Sydney and her little friend Ella, they get to ride to school together and are in the same class, very awesome!
The happy school-girl!
