Kennedy's First Tyro's Performance

Kennedy had her first performance last night with her group at school. She had the only solo in her group and well....she basically rocked!! Go sis!!

....and so it begins

School started for the older kids on August 17th. They were soooo ready to go back. I wasn't. I dreaded the day that they leave me and ..... okay..... we were all doing the happy dance!!! They love school and were getting bored and fighting constantly. They need this!! (So do I!!!)

Kennedy's first day of 6th grade. Um...when did that happen? She's so grown up and she has grown like 6 inches and 5 shoe sizes in the last year. Seriously. She loves school so much! She loves being organized, having a task and completing it. She loves structure and learning. She's awesome.




So proud of her shoes!!


Lou started 4th grade and is Mr. Social. He is the popular, friendly, concerned kid. He is friends with everyone and loves having his peeps around. He's the ring leader. Hopefully for the good ???? He's in Mr. Moulton's class and seems to be loving it!!





Do you see that look? What is that? She is usually asking me to not forget to take their pictures by their door. I think I might see a bit of embarrassment? Rude. I may or may not have kissed her right after this. I'll show you!!!


So excited to get going!!! Little embarrassed but not much. Kissed his cheek and let him go!





Who knew? Who knew that this kid starting his 2nd year of preschool would actually make me cry? I don't think I have cried when any of my kids have gone to school. Not that I don't miss them. (that doesn't make me look very awesome, does it??) But they have always just been so excited and so ready. I am not ready for my baby to be without me. I still carry him around on my hip. Maybe that should stop. Seriously, I still rock him to sleep. How rude to go and grow up on me.








Colie with Miss Andy and Miss Jane. We love them!! So glad they are here for another year. What would we do without them??? Love.
