Back to school!

 OH how exciting it was to wake up on August 22, 2012 and send Kedzie to second grade and Ethan to Kindergarten.  They love school.  They love their friends.  I love school.  I love their friends.  

Yes, it was a major adjustment to have them go back to school.  I can't say that I love it, because I miss them while they are gone.  But, I love it because they are learning and growing and changing and becoming better people every day.  It's amazing.  My kids are growing so quickly.  It's bitter sweet I suppose.  I love them dearly.  And I'm so proud of them for all they are learning and doing on a daily basis.

So, Kedzie is off to second grade with Mrs. Nienaber.  She has many friends in her class including her favorite Cali and favorite Cameron.  

Ethan is off to his first day of Kindergarten in Mrs. Weins class.  I wasn't sure how he would act going to school again.  He's been in pre-school for the past 2 1/2 years and the only change here is a new school.  But, he was soooo excited for the first day and after the first week, he couldn't wait to return on Monday!  He loves that he brings things home to read and he enjoys being dropped off each morning to walk in with the "big kids."  It's fabulous. He's also in the same class as his friend Camden. 

So, that leaves some time for Alex and I to hang out.  He's been to the gym with me and he's had a lot of play dates with Matthew and Colten over the past two weeks.  He's so social and loves being with his friends or his siblings.  I don't quite do it for him. But, this is my last school year with him, and we are going to have fun!
