Here we go again!

Another school year!

This year Maddie heads off to 8th grade.
I vow to enjoy this.
Next year means high school
and I feel quite faint when I
let my thoughts go there.

Davis is off to conquer 4th grade.

Both were excited and full of confidence

when they headed out the door.

A kiss for both and there they go.

Kindergarten for Cooper.
Is it possible that he is ready for this?
Or is it me - yeah, it's me.
I don't think I'm ready for this.
We walked hand in hand to school.
He was holding on pretty tight
but then again, that might have been me.

After waves and hugs of good bye
he got in line and listened very carefully to the
teacher's instructions. . .

which were to stand tall and straight like a pencil
and to put a bubble in your mouth and hold it there
while they walked to their classroom.
He walked away tall and straight as a pencil.
He glanced over his shoulder at me a few times
but then again, that could have been me.

Wow Andrea, how does it feel to have all three of your kids in school? I hope that Cooper loves Kindergarten and has a great year. I can't believe any of your kids are that old already.
