First day of school


Big changes for Carter as he started middle school. He now rides the bus, has a locker and changes classes. He's been really excited and loves it. I have been a bit of a basket case worrying about everything. I'm glad that he's so responsible so that I have one fewer things to worry about!

Hailey kept telling me that she wasn't excited to start school because she "hates school." Mmm-hmm. She loves it and has a wonderful teacher for 2nd grade. She has just found out that the older kids say that and thinks it makes her more mature.

Now that he is the oldest sibling at the elementary school, Andrew has really stepped up to take on the responsibility. He's been walking Grant to his classroom each day and picking him up. What a patient older brother.

Grant was excited, but also nervous about starting all day kindergarten. After week 1, we are still adjusting.

Alyssa also wanted to pose. All week, she has been playing with me. But, then she will get quiet and say, "Carter bus. Bye bye Andrew. Bye bye Hailey. Bye bye Grant." She is so lonely without everyone and loves to wake up from her nap to see her brothers and sister.
