The first day of school. Fasten your seatbelts folks. It might be a bumpy ride! John starting High School, Melee' starting Jr. High, Peach is in first, and Ace will not be paroled just yet - sentenced to one more year of Mother's Day Out.
Our little cutie was nervous as always. She has a Very nice teacher, but only one boy from her class last year. She has to start over with girlie friends. Even though I keep them on a pretty consistent bedtime schedule, they are TIRED! There have been lot's of bedtime tears, and a few morning ones.
Melee' is number 53 there on the sidelines, which he hopes will be his permanent home. None of us are liking football, and after a three hour scrimmage on Saturday, we are even more sour than ever. He's had a pretty good week at school, but he's still struggling to find a good buddy. It's hard for a parent to take.
Guess who got his official uniform today! He's bonified. He's loving High School, of course it's the first week.

Great picture, and what handsome kids!
What's funny now is comparing the kids to your drawing in your header. It's actually a very close rendering! Are you still able to spin plates?
I love your kids...they smiled for pictures on the first day of school! Although mine were actually excited to go back and are loving it so far, all I got were scowls and "HURRY UP" when I tried to take the traditional first day picture! Erica is in 5th grade (last year for elementary, sniff, sniff) so the attitude and hormones are raging. Ethan is is 2nd and thinks he's getting too big for hugs from mom in front of his friends (another sniff).
Jeff, Thanks, I think they're pretty cute too. And not only am I spinning plates, I'm adding more by the day!
Jen, 5th GRADE OMG! Charlie offered me a hundred bucks to follow John to his first class to take a picture. :)
