yesterday was an orientation day of sorts, so today was the real first day for our big fifth grader. i can't say he was joyous about the occasion, but he's got some good buddies in his class to look forward to. i thought kindergarten would be the hardest. but for me, every year gets harder...
summer goes faster every year. this one was no exception. and yesterday i cried like a baby. because, well, LOOK at my baby!
i had thirty seconds to take some photos before the bus rounded the corner. so i grabbed the xti. i almost forgot how to use it!
How cute. He looks so grown up and ready to be on his own!!!

Oh my gosh! He is so handsome! And there is no doubt that he and Monkey Girl are brother and sister! I am wondering how it will be sending Cooper off to school as he gets older - preschool has been a breeze and I am so happy that he has that diversion twice a week . . . but all day, everyday? That may be hard!

I sent off my 3rd grader and Kindergartner yesterday! It is amazing how fast they grow. Kaitlyn the 3rd grader does not like homework so her advise to Kylie was "It's not all fun and games you know" oh boy it will be a long school year.:)

Awww, I feel for ya. My baby starts preschool next week. Seriously, where does the time go? They get big so fast. I can't even imagine what 1st grade will be like! I'm sure he had a great day though!
