...and then there were 3...

 I didn't get the best pictures this morning....lots of rain and darkness!  BUT, that didn't dampen the excitement and anticipation that filled their little hearts from the moment they woke up.  Not to say that there wasn't a smidge of nervousness mixed in (mostly in me & the Kinder kiddo), but everyone is ready, prepared, and eager for a new year.  But I am going to miss our days together so much!

Back-to-School Breakfast!

 Ummmmm...who are these BIG kids and what did they do with my BABIES??? 

After the big kids were off for the day, Little Miss and I headed to Trader Joe's for mimosas (me!) and chocolate (us both!). She loves pushing the cart. ;)

Waiting for the bus to bring the bigs home!  Love this picture of Norah.

 They all had a great day!  They were all chatty about what they did and who they say and how great their teachers are.  I'm so thankful.

 

 And...traditional after-the-1st-day-of-school trip to Delnor Woods with friends!

 

 3rd installment of this exact picture. :)

Last year's, and the year before's...

 

Shane's Day

 Fun and special day for Shane and I!  First, we had Mother's Day Tea at preschool. Then, Kindergarten Orientation!!

 They sang several CRAZY cute songs. I only recorded the first one.  If you have the patience to listen to the whole thing, you won't be disappointed. And, you'll get to see Shane pick his nose mid-way through. :/)

Another Year in the Books

 *Sigh*

Another year has passed.  Bittersweet.

My 2nd grader and Kindergartner are no longer those. 

 3rd grade and 1st grade here they come!

Last time (possibly ever) of a midday bus stop trip...these two have loved playing in the wooded area right near the place the bus drops Meredith off.

 Last time off the Kinder bus!

Walking home a 1st grader! She looks so old! :(

Yes!  Summer here we come! 

We kicked off our summer with a super fun night at Concert in the Park...pictures to come in a later post. ;)  Here's a sneak peek!
