1st day of school

1st day of 1st and 2nd grade! I can't believe they're both gone all day! It is nice to finally get back to a schedule though. This summer was crazy and after moving it seemed like we never could get back into a routine.

Hallelujah!!! We have a bus! A dream come true for us all! I can not tell you how much more manageable my life is with a bus! The girls have always dreamed of the bus too and so far it has lived up to our expectations! 

Truman and Libby like waiting for the bus. Truman was kind of mad he couldn't get on, but at least he can roll in the dirt while he waits.

Home again, home again! Jiggity jig!

Libby loves thinking she can boss me and hog me all day long now and told me she does not miss the older girls at all, but I think she does miss them.

Anne likes her teacher and said it wasn't hard at all to make new friends like she thought it was. She said she just turned to the girl sitting next to her and said,"Hey do you want to be my friend?" and the girl said "Sure" so that was that. Thank goodness! She has been so nervous all summer.

Sara Looooves her teacher and is friends with everyone as usual. Her favorite thing to do at recess is chase the boys. Hopefully she gets that out her system before Jr. High.

Where was Miles during all these comings and goings? Sleeping. That kid loves his sleep. He sleeps past 9 everyday. Takes a good 3 hour nap sometime during the day and is ready for bed by 8. So he was unavailable for pictures. 

Another side note- Kellan started Grad School! I can't believe we're really doing it. I kept meaning to take a picutre of his first day, but I forgot. Oh well. Somethings will have to just not be documented with pictures. He's really loving it though. And so am I, so far. I don't like that he's gone so much, but I do love the tight knit feeling of grad school compared to undergrad work. I feel like his professors and cohorts are really rooting for him and he has the resources and support he needs to make this a success. So I don't like that he's gone, but do love that I know he's in good hands.
