First Day of First Grade

*Sniffle sniffle* Our boy keeps growing up.

That, of course, is both happy and exciting and sad all at the same time.

Ugggggg....no one ever told me that being a parent would just be a never-ending ball of emotions. :-/

Evander in his cubby at open house

Cereal by fingers, not spoon ;-)

Watching for the bus about 30 minutes too early

By his tree. Who is taller?

See you later, Lilo!

Still waiting excitedly for the bus

It's time! 

Evander---I miss you when you are gone. I am sad that time is moving so quickly and you aren't as little as you once were. I am thankful you are growing healthy and strong. I am happy you have a thirst for knowledge and can pursue that with great people who will guide you while away from home. I am excited that you will be discovering new things. I look forward to seeing all of the doodles and art work you will bring home. I enjoy that there is less teasing and fighting in the house while you're at school. I enjoy watching your brother, the middle child, be the "big kid" in the house. But mostly, I think I just miss you while you are away at school. I pray for you while you while you are gone.
