A day of Firsts







So, we are well into our schedule of waking up before the sun and getting the kids off to school....but I am going to go back to the first day of school. I seriously think I am in denial. My baby started Middle school this year. I take him every morning. Each morning when I drop him off, I still shake my head in disbelief. Middle school...seriously??? He LOVES it....which helps a lot! He is on the MAVERICK team and I feel like we totally lucked out with some amazing teachers! Way to go Christopher! You are moving on up!
Bailyn started 3rd GRADE! WOW.....Christopher was going into 3rd grade when we moved here and I was just enrolling Bailyn into kindergarten. She loves her new teachers....Mrs. Ross for reading, social studies and Mrs. Pratt for Math and Science. She is so excited to start all of the extra curicular activties that come along with being in the 3rd grade, like choir and environmental club. Her first day was a little tramatic getting her out of the door. She threw a major temper tantrum.....yes at 8!!!! But, I took some pictures for documentation!!! After the first day, she has been up and running and loving it.....as long as I don't force my ideas on how she should do her hair. UGH....I am dreading high school! :)

Christopher going to middle school is a tough one though. I'm glad he is loving it, but I'm dreading being there right behind you next year. ugh friend!

He melted my heart years ago in Primary so no doubt he is going to melt a few more in the years to come! Good luck and hang on for the ride!

Okay, so I LOVE that you not only took a picture of Bailyn throwing a tantrum, but that you posted it. Awesome. Though it scares me a bit--I was hoping Mabes would grow out of it!

Christopher looks so grown up! I'd say he's going to be a heartbreaker, but he's too sweet!
