This was a bittersweet first day of school for me this year. I have been a stay-at-home mom for nearly eleven years and I have always had a kid at home to take care of. But now my last baby has gone off to school and I feel as though I've been demoted at my job to part-time help. I am excited for Reagan as she goes to school and learns all kinds of things, but I am sad for me because I know that the days of having my kids at home full time are over. I am apprehensive about this new season in my life, although I know I will get used to it as time goes on. But right now, I feel like this is the beginning of the end :'0)
Six years ago we took a picture like this with only Dawson and David. Their little heads barely reached the top of the white part of the sign and this year we had to move them to the other side because David's head was covering up the letters. It won't be long and they'll be taller that the sign itself! And now we have all six kids in the picture.
Griffin is in third grade this year and has moved up to the "upper elementary" class with Dawson.
Dawson is now in his second-to-last year in Mrs. McKitrick's class before he moves up to (gulp) Jr. High!!
My little girl is the last one to go through Mrs. Pinne's class. That makes me a little sad. (sniff)
