My Kids Really Are Growing Up

Yesterday, I dropped off my oldest son at his first day of his very last year at middle school. I also dropped off my youngest son at his first day of his very last year at elementary school. Both of the kids told me bye, and were off to their day like it was just another day.

Agnes did well, until we arrived at the drive-way, then she didn’t want to leave me behind. Agnes’ school was completely packed, and there wasn’t enough time to park and walk in for the morning. I asked her if it was o.k. if she walked in all by herself this year. She was a little sad, but she said “I can do it”.

As I waved good-bye to her, and made my way through the traffic, I realized just how much my kiddos have grown. They have grown into amazing big kids, and I am very lucky to be their mom.

They all had a great first day at school, and all three of them were ready to go back first thing this morning. I have a feeling this is going to be a good school year.

First Day of School (finally)

  
Well we survived the summer, and today we welcomed the first day of school. We got up extra early, and we actually made it out of the door on time. 

This year I have an eighth grader, a fifth grader, and a second grader. All three kids are the oldest grades at their schools. 

The boys did pretty well this morning. Agnes was really upset at drop-off. She didn’t want to go. I hope that her day has gone well though. 

I’m proud of my kiddos. I have a feeling this is going to be a good year for all of them.

Twenty Days To Go

This year has felt like the longest Summer EVER… With the turn of the calendar, we are well on our way to just twenty days left of Summer madness.

We’ve been back to school shopping for most of the clothes, and the supplies are on hand. The school fees are paid, and the kids know who their teachers will be.

Now to stay sane for the next twenty days…

Happy 8th Birthday Dylan

Happy 8th Birthday to our little man Dylan!

Dylan has grown, and changed so much over the last year.

He is still my little sweetie!

Dylan is our outdoors-kiddo. He loves to be outside in the sunshine jumping on the trampoline, or chasing his pet toad “scooter” around in the mud.

Dylan is fun, playful, and has a very big imagination.

Dylan is a great big brother, and a fantastic little brother as well.

Dylan has absolutely loved the second grade. He is an advanced reader, fantastic at math,  and he is in the highest math and reading classes too. He often talks about what he wants to be when he grows up. He either wants to be a teacher when he grows up, or maybe a farmer.

We love you so little man!!!

Happy eighth birthday Dylan!

Here’s to many, many more awesome birthdays!
