First Day

Our first day of school went off without a hitch. The girls love their teachers, and are excited about their classes. Whew! This was our first "first day" without any tears of anxiety. When we got to school the girls both went off to find their class lines, and that was it! It was too easy...I guess they are getting older and much more independent. We are lucky to be at such a great school with amazing teachers and good friends. The combination made for a smooth transition to 3rd(!) and 5th(!) grade.
Daddy even stayed home long enough to see the girls off for their first day. Here they all are, walking to school (we've got quite the entourage now...)

My sweet 5th(!) grader...


My cute little 3rd(!) grader.



It really feels good to get back to school this year. Usually I dread the new year...the end of summer, my kids another grade older, etc. But this year I'm loving it. I think it's probably due to the fact that I'm feeling back to my old self (I can actually eat without feeling sick...I'm so happy!!!) I love the structure our family is settling back into, and I love that the girls are at school with their wonderful teachers. Ahhh, back to productivity. It's been a while since things have felt "normal" around here, and it is a good feeling. I'm so excited for everything we have coming up in the next few months. Stay tuned...we'll keep you posted on the fun. :)

They are both such cute girls! I'm glad that they had good first days and that there weren't any tears. I'm also glad that you are feeling so good and are able to get back to your normal routine. Must be nice!

What a positive uplifting post! I too am so happy for you that you get to enjoy the holidays this year without being sick. It was so good to see you today. The kids had so much fun at the park!

Hi Annette- This is your slacker of a pregnant nurse from SMMC. I found your blog through the blog vine.

Your family is SO cute!! I wish I would've met them in person. And the pictures that Christie did of Ryan and Company..... Amazing. Have a great rest of the year and maybe I'll see you at an Enrichment Night again!

Yay for feeling good again! I don't think I stopped eating for the first 3 months postpartum. I was loving the taste of food again.

Fun to be home with your boys all day too! I can't wait to see that little guy in person.
