A year of firsts...

Another first day of school has come and this one is by far the most exciting as for the very first time...all three boys are at the same school!!!!! Whoohoo!!!! Luke is completing Pre-K three days/week/full day at the boys school and that means 1 dropoff and 1 pickup each day!!!

Another first is that we have actually have a first day of school picture with all of us in it! We were out front taking pictures and a neighbor heading to work literally stopped his car and asked if we'd like a family picture! Gotta love living in a friendly neighborhood!!!

For the first time ever, much to Brian's delight, I did not cry today!!! All three of my guys were so happy today and so excited to go to school and had such big smiles on their faces that I was truly happy dropping them off. We love their school that we have them in so much and truly feel that there is someone loving on our guys every minute of the day. They each love where they are, we are so blessed to have made such wonderful friends at this school (both the kids and Craig & I) and the boys are academically doing better than we could've ever imagined! I know when I leave them each day that they are safe, happy and loved...what more could a Momma ask for?!?!?!

Yet another first this year was Matt finally grew up and it breaks my heart! Every year as I tuck him in the night before school he has a huge sobfest as to how much he's gonna miss me....not last night!!! Apparently he has moved on and decided that I am in fact not worth missing each day :( As much as I love that he is getting bigger...I hate that he is getting bigger!!!

I am officially the Momma of a 3'rd grader, a 2'nd grader and a Pre-Ker (is that even a word???) and as I look at my three growing boys I am both proud of what amazing little guys they are becoming and so, so sad at the fact that they are in fact growing up and becoming amazing little guys that make me proud each and everyday.
