So let it begin!

School has begun. Today!
It is a bitter-sweet. More bitter for me. I truly miss them when they go to school.
They were excited to go, and they all have really nice teachers.
I am worried a little that Caleb will revert back to how he was at the
beginning of last year, and not wanting to go to school, but I am hopeful that we are over
his anxiety.









We had such a great summer, and it is time for them to begin again. Ryan gave them all their back to school blessings last night, and I was totally amazed at how much each one of them have grown up this summer. They are all such great boys, and I am so lucky to be their mom!
Mara, is of course obsessed with backpacks, and when the boys were getting ready for school, she had to have a backpack, so she found an old lunch box, and carried that around all morning long. She calls the boys "My Boys" and has already asked be about five times today..."My boys at school..." I am not sure if it is a statement or a question. I think she and I will miss them terribly.

What a darling picture of all of your kids. Sam is looking so grown up. I wish Max was here for Hayden he didn't know anyone (Or any boys I should say) in his class and it made him a little nervous. Good thing everyone is friends in Kindergarten. Hopefully Caleb does better this year.

Hope school is going well for all. And Mara still has Max and Emma for company as well as mom. She is lucky!
