What a Week!!

Can I just say that I love the first week of school? Really. I think it is more of a selfish reason than anything. I love getting back into a routine, even though it has been a little crazy the last few days. Riley started school on Monday, and was so excited. He has a great teacher, and is already making new friends.
Abby started 1st grade on Tuesday... sigh... I can't believe she is growing up so fast. She has been so excited, and hasn't complained, or even made mention of the LONG day at school. Yea! She is just excited to eat lunch w/ her friends, and even got 3 recesses the first day. Can life get any better?

I love having Riley and Abby so close together. They are best friends, and totally look out for each other.

Ok, so I know I am her mom, but Abby is just so dang cute!

Abby was excited to get to line up next to her friend Ellie's class outside the first grade doors. Friends always make everything easier. I did really well all morning, except for right when she started walking into school w/ her class. I got a little teary realizing that I wouldn't get to see her ALL DAY! That lasted about 10 minutes, then I was fine and dandy!
Now this is the crazy part... I have 3 school kids this year! Jake started preschool on Tuesday afternoon. Talk about a tear-jerker. He looked so cute in his school outfit, and was insistent on getting his picture taken outside. He had a great first, and second day of school. He loves his teacher Miss Debi, and is excited to be a "big kid"now.
Awww... he looks so big in this picture!
Hurray!!! It's time for school!!
I actually started teaching preschool at Corner Canyon Academy (where Jake is going). I am teaching Tues & Thurs afternoon so I am there when Jake is. I totally lucked out, and got an awesome class. All of my kids are darling. It is definitely an adjustment, and has made things a little crazy (as mentioned previously) with trying to figure out carpool, etc. It is going to work out, and be a good year.
So, all in all, it is good to be back in school.

Ok, I'm not Abby's mom, and I feel quite comfortable saying that in my objective opinion, she's darling. We love Abby. It's so nice to have school going. I feel like I can finally breath.
