First Day of School!

WOW! What a morning!

The first day of First Grade for Sydni got off to a rocky start because she didn't get the teacher she wanted, her favorite uniform pants were officially too small, and her hair was all wrong. But we made it there and ultimately she okay and happy to see her friends.

Davis' first day of school was equally exciting for the whole family! He was up early, dressed and ready to go, and asking "when are we leaving" for an hour. As we turned down the street the school is on Davis exclaimed "Oh my gosh, we are almost there!" He was very excited to be in Sydni's old Kindergarten room with her old teachers. He promptly found his hook for his backpack, put on his nametag, and did exactly what his teacher told him, got a book and sat on the carpet....he was gone, didn't even say goodbye to his mommy. (sniffle) As I sneaked in one last look before leaving the school he was standing with his class saying the Pledge of Allegiance, looking very grown up.


Probably the most unexpected reaction of this morning was from Andrew. As we were leaving the school he asked "where did Sydni and Davis go?", followed by "I wanna go back!", and then he began crying! I suppose this will be an adjustment for all of us!

Well, here are pictures of this morning...enjoy!


Davis patiently waiting on the school steps for the bell to ring.
The bell has rung!

Some fun pics

Introducing "Chloe"... our latest adoption...she is about 4 months old and she brings out the kitten in Penny, usually around 10 o'clock at night! It's been lots of fun having the both of them.I still don't know how these cats survive Andrew but they do...

for example, Chloe is very curious and oddly she likes water, so she was in the bathroom when Andrew had just gotten out of the bath. Andrew promptly picked her up and threw her in what was left of his bath water...

Here is a picture of Davis who is so excited and a little nervous for school to start next week. His biggest anxieties are over lunch and recess....imagine that!

I don't think many of you have ever seen Sydni with straight hair... we were bored last week and spent WAY too much time in front of the mirror with the straightening iron, but it was cute. We dont' do this very often anymore...she has A LOT of hair!!!
