First Day of School!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, September 7th, was the first day of school for Nick and Tatiana!!!! They were both excited and did great!

This was Nick's first day of MIDDLE SCHOOL! Ah! Where did the time go? He wasn't nervous at all though, he was cool, calm and collected leaving in the morning and he had nothing but good things to say about school and his teachers when he came home. He is very smart (did I mention he is in 6th grade but in the 7th grade math class?!?!) He is also so laid back and easy going. Everyone likes him, no worries...he's got this middle school thing in the bag!

Nick has to leave at 7:10AM though so I forgot to get a "first-day-of-school-picture" of him, so this photo was taken at the end of the day after his shirt had been tucked in under his scout shirt and he had had a long day. Still so handsome though! And looking so grown up!!!

As soon as he walked out the door I remembered about the picture, slapped my forehead and got the camera out and ready so I wouldn't miss Tatiana.

Here is out pretty, not-so-little-anymore girl on her first day of 4th grade! She also was very excited and seems to be totally fine with the fact that this is her first year without her big brother at school with her. She is very smart and very confidant and has a lot of friends. She'll do just fin!

Tatiana sitting at her desk, Andrew is in his little yellow raincoat on the left. The first day of school was really rainy here in the northwest, but it has been nice every since. I hope our good weather holds out a little longer! Tatiana loves sitting by many of her friends!

On Thursday Ben has his preschool open house and he got to see the classroom. He is very excited! So cute!!! He is really smart. He is kindergarten ready as far as academics go. He is going to be in the same class as two of his good buddies that were in our preschool co-op with him last year!

I wish our children the BEST SCHOOL YEAR EVER!
