First Day of School 2010

Even though we woke up at the crack of dawn (Mia couldn't figure out why we were up and it was still dark outside) I did manage to get some quick shots of our kiddos just before we ran out the door....
This is the last year that Lainie won't be going to school with us.  Although she LOVES her sitters, she can't wait to be a kindergartner next year. (And no I did not realize her shirt was on backwards until I picked her up that afternoon).  And I'm thinking next year I'll probably have to fix her hair before we head out the door. 
Mia - our first grader- has been waiting not so patiently for school to start all summer.  She LOVES school and is so excited that vacation is over.
Will - our 3rd grader - ready to go as always.  This boy has a good time anywhere he goes and school is no exception.
Jillian - our 6th grader - all grown up.
Trey - our 9th grader - where did the time go?  It seems like yesterday he went to kindergarten.  His first day of high school was just like his very first day of school.  Not a bit nervous  - just excited to start something new.   He's going to have so much fun. 
Because our school is K-8 Trey has been with me at school every single day.  It just didn't seem right to walk into school this morning and him not be with us.  In my classroom he had written on  my board on the last day of school last year.  "Hey mom - Trey was here."  I think I'll leave that there for awhile - or maybe forever.

So sweet! and while I was looking at the last picture I was wondering who the friend of Trey's was and then I realized it was you. LOL(0:

How do you feel about arranged marriages. I'm sure one of my daughters and Trey could work??..LOL. Trey is quite a godly, young man! And I'd leave the note on the board all year:)
