And she's off, Without Me.....

Today was Katie's offical first day of Kindergarten. I really thought sending off the "Middle Child" would be so much easier. I was wrong. As soon as the bus pulled away I got all choked up and started to cry. Every time I thought about her I would get choked up again. Silly me.

 

Here is Katie and her cute Kindergartner sign. I didn't realize at the time it matched her dress. She was very excited about that!

 

And here is Katie on the bus, WITHOUT ME!! I have driven a school bus for 4 years now, and my kids have always ridden with me. This is the first time she is on a bus and I am not driving it!

Kindergarten Round Up....

Katie had her Kindergarten round up today. The kids go in and meet their teachers and their new friends while the parents get the low down and what to expect in Kindergarten. I have already done this one time with Braeden so it wasn't total news to me, but there were a few new things.

 

This is Katie and her friend Sarah from church, they and another boy Brandon from church are all in the same class!

 

Katie is inline with the rest of her class and her "Pirate" teacher ready to head to her class.

 

After are meeting we met up with our kids in their class, and did a little scavenger hunt. Part of it was reading a book, so Katie picked one and sat down and read away.

 

And her she is sitting at her table ready to learn!

Back to School.....

Today was Braeden's first day of school. I cannot believe my baby is in 2nd grade already! Where did the time go? He is such a smart person, I am really excited to see what the school year brings for him!

 

 

 

 

New Year New Everything

So I haven't blogged FOREVER. Really I don't even know who reads this one anymore! I have a master plan for my life this year. I want to beautify my home and myself. “Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God.” I fall so very short on these things. I want my house to be so organized I end up making it a HUGE mess! I also need to make me healthier, obviously. These are things I plan on working very very hard on. Anyone who wants to help or encourge me on my journey please do! I truly need all the help and prayers I can get!
