First Day of KINDERGARTEN!!!

Here is our little man Tyler on his first day of Kindergarten! He was very happy to go back to school and to wear his uniform! I thought all summer long that I would be more than ready to send him to school every day, but I was surprisingly a bundle of nerves the night before....just like back when I was a student....could not sleep the night before the first day of school! I was in fact up all night preparing his lunch, uniform, backpack, and organizing for my busy life of being a full on Mom. He was so excited and confident and he told me that he loved me and that he would miss me. I have to admit that when I waved goodbye to him as I pulled away from the school, my heart ached a bit and tears filled my eyes! Not because I was sad, but because I was so proud of my sweet little son.

Okay, so I pulled away from the school, wiped the tears, parked the car, and ran back in to just take a peek! I snapped this shot and they all turned around as I jumped away from the door into the hall so that Ty would not see me! Luckily, I was fast enough and he never knew his Mom was spying!

That is so exciting and I'm sure a little hard. Kelby will probably be starting Pre-School next year and I think it's going to be real hard on Bethany.
I'm sure at the same time you guys are absolutely thrilled, and proud, of how well he is doing, and to see that all your hard work is paying off and he's doing so well.
You guys take care!

I agree with Amelia... Ty DOES look very handsome in his uniform! I am going to have to show Kennedy this picture! She thinks Ty is the "Handsomist Boy EVER."
Katie... I need to call you & update you on baby news! She will be here next week!
Time has flown by so fast! Sorry I haven't been very good at staying in touch these past few months(except through blogging).
I love ya Kates!
