First Day of School

 Breakfast with Greg before we all leave!

 Ryan was really sleepy!!!

 Can't believe we now have 2 middle schoolers!

 Ryan 6th grade, Ashley 3rd, and Scott 8th-Ryan has woken up a little since finishing breakfast but Ashley definitely has the biggest smile-VERY excited to see and learn all about the wonders of 3rd grade.

I'm a little sad that she is the only one I get to walk in with anymore!  She was excited to find her desk, sit down and get right to work on a get to know you worksheet.

 Here is her classroom

 and her sweet, kind teacher who read them The Kissing Hand book on the first day and wants hugs from them every day!  She already LOVES Mrs. Wimmer!

 Ashley is super excited about her very own 3 ring binder with dividers!

There is a picture I wish I could have taken with a camera but it is a precious memory in my mama heart-As I was leaving the middle school carline and watching the cars in front of me, I saw the boys walking next to each other chatting up a storm about something (probably Star Wars or Mario on the wii) down the sidewalk as they went to the door-I pray that they always share that closeness!

I am glad that all are happy with new teachers and Ryan is finding his way into this new adventure called middle school but the same sentiment seems to echo with us and my friends and their children-summer was great, went by WAY too quickly, and we are sad for it to come to an end!
