THUD...

Back to reality. Ouch, that smarts! After a week of singing the Staples commercial song to my kids, I think they were very happy to get the hell away from me and back to school today. Hehehe. :oD

Cameron headed off to his first day of high school this morning **cry** and decided he didn't need any embarrassing parents to tag along. Connor is to be Cam's "tour guide" and said he would show Cam around and make sure he got his timetable, locker assignment etc. **blub blub** What happened to my little babies? Who stole them and left these tall, lanky young men in their places? Gaaaaaaahhh... I must admit I am so proud of Connor, he is doing great in high school and I think it can only get better. Plus, he is enjoying the role of being the older brother and being able to show Cam the ropes, me thinks. :o)

Mae flew out the door to meet her girly friends when she spotted them coming up the path and even Delsin wanted me to leave him at the crosswalk and not come into the school yard with him. He had forgotten that it IS the first day of school so I needed to check the class list and get him to his new teacher...hehe. So he agreed that I could come today and then starting tomorrow I have to leave him at the crosswalk because he is "a big 2nd grade boy" now. **sigh** I guess I should be happy that my kids are all confident and independent but my Mommy heart is aching ever so slightly. But it IS nice and quiet here. I think another cup of coffee is in order!

Del did indulge Mommy with one picture :o)
Happy first day of school everyone, hope the kiddos have a fantastic start to the year!

Laura :o)

Awww That is SO sweet! I admit that by the time school started here, I was ready for my 9 y/o to go. I walked him in to meet his teacher..with our move came a new school. It was really sad to walk on to campus and not know a single one of the kids..I worried about Austin who was quick to go and try to make friends. It was the first time I cried about his schooling..weird huh?
