Tuesday August 28

 

We all survived.

And everyone had such a fun day!

What was I ever worried about :)

All the kids were up early.

We got Madi all ready to go on time.

Dad drove her today....I think she may start the bus tomorrow.

She was really nervous.

 

Brent went with her to the school....he said she kept walking in front of him a little bit and he asked if he should just leave....and she told him no, to stay with her.

She is just a nut.

There were plenty of other parents around.

She just hates to stick out in any way.

 

I cannot believe she is a middle schooler!!!

She came home at 4:30 cause she has cross country after school.

She said it was a great day.

I am so happy for her.

She said she met a lot of new friends.

And the best part is that she is excited about tomorrow!

(p.s. it is her birthday tomorrow too :)

 

Port thought he needed a first day of school picture too.

Getting big, boy!

 

We took Elsie and Cassi to school today.

Actually, I will always take Elsie, but Cassi thinks she might ride the bus sometimes :)

 

Before we had to leave they had time for some book reading.



 

Cassi found her class line.

She was very excited to start school today.....very giddy!

 

Elsie bug was a rock star.

She did so great.

The parents gathered at first for a chat with Mrs. Gracen, but then she shooed us away.

We could tell Elsie was on the verge of not being okay with it....so Brent stayed behind.

It only took a few minutes before he was able to leave.

The best part was that the aid that is there to help Elsie out in class is the same aid Madi had last year for the special needs kids in her class.

Miss Jodi....and we love her.

She knows Elsie from different school functions we have talked to her at.

So it was very awesome to have her there!

It is gonna be great.

 



Thumbs up from Elsie when I picked her up from school.

She said to me "It was GREAT!"

She told me she didn't cry at all.

She had so much fun and could not stop talking all afternoon!

I am so happy.

Beyond happy!

It is gonna be a great year for her!

We picked raspberry's at a friends house for a lot of the afternoon.

Can't wait to freeze them and make jam with them.

So yummy.

When Madi got home from cross country, we headed to the Young's house.

I pretty much invited our little family to their house for dinner :)

Well, I offered to bring dinner....but they had just had pizza so she said to come eat what she was cooking.

You rock Heather.

Thanks for letting us invade.

And we got to see the new pool!

So much fun.

It was still pretty cold but the kids had a really fun time.
