gracie was the first to leave tuesday morning. 7:05 a.m. on her way to the bus stop. first year of middle school. excited and ready for the first day!
i offered to walk her to the bus stop like i do the elementary kids, but abi told her that i did that for her when she was in 7th grade, and it was kind of embarrassing. grace said i could walk her . . . but, then i would miss abi leaving. we ended up saying our goodbye's at the door.
this is gracie at registration trying out her locker for the first time. she is so thrilled about having a locker this year. several mornings this week she has said how happy she is to have her own locker:) she was a little stressed about getting it open on the first day of school. at registration, she and i both had a tricky time getting that thing to open up.
abi was next to leave at 7:30. abigail has been so excited to start her first year of highschool. i can hardly believe i have a daughter in highschool!! she has been talking about is since the end of july . . . planning what to wear the first day and how to do her hair.
i must say she looks fabulous for her first day:)
the boys were next to leave at 8:30. look at those shiny happy little boy faces!
each year i ask my kids to try and be the last in line to get on the bus so they can look back and wave for the camera. they are such good sports:)
a brand new fresh start. the first day comes quicker every year.

since i can't be there it is so much fun to see that you captured so well their first day of school. they all look excited and ready to have a great year. love the chalkboard with their own handwritten names. great idea. xox
I love the chalkboard (is it the place mats in the other photos? because I love that idea, too).
Most of all, I am loving all these posts!!!
made me cry...
Love your traditions! These are memories your kids will cherish and probably do with their own families. Way to be such a great inspiration!
Those are great photos and I love those little boy faces! Also..it was so fun to be with your kids, even if it was short. They are amazing and you are an amazing Mom!xo
