first day of school...


Noah is in 2nd grade


Zach is in 1st grade


Oh boy was is weird to watch my 2 boys walk onto the bus knowing that they were going to be gone ALL day long! 2 boys in school all day is a huge step...they are getting so big and I am so proud of them. Last night they set out all their clothes including shoes and socks. Then they woke up at 6 am this morning so excited...got dressed and were ready for breakfast at 7 am! As the time to walk to the bus stop got closer and closer Zach said he wasn't feeling very good. I knew that he was just getting nervous and I told him that he would be okay. A few minutes later I noticed that Zach was over in the family room on the couch...as I walked over to see if he was okay I realized what he was doing...he was kneeling next to the couch with his arms folded, head down saying a prayer that his stomach would feel better! What a neat moment as a mom to know that he knew someone who could make it all better! I LOVE being a mom! It is full of such sweet moments that completely erase in my mind all of the hard, frustrating, and trying times!

How sweet of him to say a prayer. Your boys look so cute and grown up. You can see the excitement coming out of their ears. I hope everything goes well for them and enjoy your full day!!

Wow they are so cute and that is a big deal to have two in school all day. That is such a cute moment for you to see him doing that. You have to know you are doing something right.
