First Day Of School-2014

Our Freshman!





8th Grader!!



Mary with Claire and Ben (neighbor friends)


5th Grader!!


 4th Grader!!


 ...and then there's this guy.

1st grade.



 No surprise, he was nervous.

He managed to pull himself together for a picture at the bus stop.


As soon as the bus came around the corner, he went running.  Bill had to run after him and literally push him onto his seat, kicking and screaming.   Ann quickly sat beside him and blocked him in.  Poor kid.

This is a picture of him on Day 2. 


What a difference a day makes.  He ran to the bus this time.

So there you have it.  All 5 in school full time. I can feel a whole gamut of emotions about this. But that's a post for another day.

    Hi Kathleen
    First day of school here today. Your kids look happy. (Well, with one exception...lol. That's the same look my daughter had this morning and she just turned 11. Your son must have liked it though!) Time really does fly, doesn't it? I'm not sure whether to sigh or smile...

    Hi Kathleen! I'm so glad that your little one recovered his joy so fast. My daughter always had a rough first day... I have to say that I have a purse that's the same pattern as your daughter's backpack. (Yay Vera Bradley!!).
    It must be a whole new feeling to have a few hours of quiet. I hope you are enjoying them?
    Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
    Ceil
