Our First Day of School

Mason, who would have been a high school freshman in Texas, heads off to 9th grade at the Jr. High. Though Mason would protest, Mom is happy for the extra year of middle school (can you believe it, relieved for middle school? crazy I know!) Better to be the oldest than the youngest of the classes I say, especially when you are new. His confidence shaking just a bit, I know he'll have a great year.
Our pre school girls have two solid weeks until their first day, but how could we resist the photo op?
Brynley had timed her walk to school; 7 minutes with Cooper in tow. We all walked together and discussed where the kids would meet up before trekking home after a day full of learning and growth.

John joined us this morning offering waffles and a clean kitchen to start the school year off right. Tonight we welcome a new family theme with yummy dinner and dessert and a special family night.

Another school year begun.
