First Days

Monday:  Aaron had his first day of Preschool at Newcastle with Mrs. Margaret.

I had him all dressed and ready to go and then the force took over and he had changed into this shirt.  The girls were appalled that his first day pictures did not represent what he actually wore so we took another picture.  

Wednesday:  7:36 AM.  We rush out of the house as Emily's carpool pulls up and snap this quick picture.  It was a little bit of an adjustment as Emily starts middle school to have 2 different schedules in our house.   Emily has been overjoyed and making decorations for her locker all summer.  Tues after her orientation she calls me up at work and says that the school is open all afternoon and wanted me to take her back to spend some time decorating her locker.   It brought back memories of my middle school locker with my carpet sample and fruity air freshener.  

Wednesday: 8:20 AM  Jane is a little lost without her big sister there to take back to school pictures and go off to school with.  

We kept the tradition of the only day I drive you to school.

As I left her lined up with her other classmates for Mrs. Bronson's class I commented that this is now "Jane's school and she is going to own it".  She smiled and I think she liked the thought of having it all to herself now!!
