Big Day!

Today is the first day of school. Big day around here. Not because this has been the LONGEST summer EVER! But today they are all starting a new chapter in their lives. This time has flown by way too fast.

James' first day of high school. What!?! How did this happen? Make good choices please James.



This is what indifference looks like.


I have asked him over 20 times this week if he was nervous. I mean I'm nervous shouldn't he be? And finally yesterday he told me he wasn't excited, he wasn't nervous, he was indifferent.


I am still nervous.


(he is pictured here alone because he had early morning seminary at 6:20)


I dropped these two hooligans off at school.


Junior high for Jessie. 8th grade. She is so excited to just be at her own school. No older brother (is this good or bad?). She was just so excited to see her friends.


Liam starts middle school today. He asked me to not cry until I was back on the main road where no one would see me. But that just made me want to cry. Middle school just seems so scary and he just seems so young.

(he was the only one who would turn around and look at me for a picture)

Well, it's you and me kid. After a quiet ride home we pulled into the driveway and he said to me "You all done crying mommy? Let's go to the park."

Yes. Lets...

Three years ago...

This little man came into our lives. I was instantly in love. I had an amazing feeling of "I have loved you forever and it is so nice to see you again."


I love everything about him. I love his giggles. I love his spirit. I love his sweetness. I love his imagination. I love how much he loves. I love him.


I can't believe he is three.
We partied.
There was pizza.
There was cake.
And friends.
He was happy.

The cutest little baby bug...

Pretty cute huh? I love the little button nose.



And it's a boy. For sure.
I am excited to meet this new little man.
Now if we could just pick a name.
