Alex begins 4th grade- yeah, 4th...honestly, it makes me a little ill to think about...I student taught 4th grade in 1995- I know, that long ago...but I could never see having a 4th grader of my own! They are so much bigger than the 3rd graders, really, they are...trust me!
Leah starts 2nd...really?! How can that be?! She is the size of many of the Kindergartners- honestly, she is- but she pulls off her height challenge by being her...that is great!
Celeste just wants to go somewhere- poor thing- she is stuck with me! Another year or so- perhaps then she can go too...
Today we took a dry run at the first day and took pics of what they will actually wear on the real day...It takes me a while to take pictures, so I did it early- smart, huh? Plus, school starts earlier this year, so I must get up and get ready earlier, and that is not fun for me, so today, after sleeping in, I got up, got them dressed and shot these:
He is so cool, huh?! Well, I am off to make sure their bags are packed full of the hundreds of supplies I purchased for their big year...and to get their lunch items ready for tomorrow too! Wish us luck!!

I love the start of a new school year too...new clothes, new supples, new attitude! It's funny how much older the kids look at the beginning of a school year compared to the end of the old year (only 3 months earlier).
I love Alex's hair. VERY cool!
Oh my word...are your kids really that old?
That was a good idea to take them ahead of time. I still took mine that morning and found myself running late. Oops! :) It is amazing how kids get "old" so fast!!!!
ugh, we are getting old. but they are growing into such handsome young people! amazing
