3 in Elementary? Really?

Where did the summer go? We had a great summer and really loved having so much time with friends and the more laid-back days, but it was time to start. Of course, sending a Kindergartener is always SO hard for me. It never gets easier. I just have to hurry out of that school after dropping them off before too many people see my tears. I'm VERY ready for 2:50 to come so that I can get a full update, especially from Carter.
On the way, Carter wanted nothing to do with holding my hand (a first for him), Sydney let me kiss and hug her all I wanted, and Brighton was not ABOUT to let her mom walk her to her class as a big 5th grader (another first).

I'll have to say it's really different having just 1 child at home, but I've had a great time giving him so much attention today. He said at lunch today "Mom, it's just you and me now."

Karina - it's so fun to see the kids. They're getting so big. I can't believe Carter started kindergarten this year and Gavin is looking like a "big kid" now. Time flies by way too fast. Yes, we're having a boy! Andrew and Ethan are so excited to have a brother. We're looking forward to seeing Chris in a couple of weeks. Hope you're all doing well. We miss you guys :)
