First Day of School

Today was the first day of school and let's just say that our house was overflowing with excitement.  This year Ellie is in 4th grade, Amelia is in 2nd grade and Quinn is in half-day kindergarten.  This is the first time that they are all at the same school and that makes me very happy!  Here are some photos before school.






We are so lucky that we live within a few blocks of school.  I love that the kids just walk to school.


Quinn is in morning kindergarten and Jeff came home from work early so he could meet him after school. Quinn came barreling out of the doors just beaming.  You gotta love it!  I'm so glad that Jeff was there to experience this as well.


The kids were still as excited after school.  We are so happy with the school that they attend.  They are eager to jump into tomorrow.  When Quinn went to bed tonight he said "Mom, when I wake up in the morning, can I just put on my clothes and head right to school....I don't want to have to wait tomorrow". Kids are priceless!

  2. Fantastic! LOVE Quinn's reaction... great snap! And, I guess that proves he was telling me the truth when he said he wasn't nervous about starting kindergarten! ;) And, the girls look sooooo cute and stylish! Give them all a big hug! :)
