Our sweet babies both started school this morning. And it was more than my Mama heart could take! Thankfully, Bryan took the day off, so we were able to take both kiddos to school together...and he was there to console me when I inevitably cried!
Today was Sarah's first day of 7th grade!
We are just so proud of her, and we can't wait to watch her shine this year!
Today was Jackson's first day of kindergarten!
He was so excited to start school this morning!
We know he's going to do great things!
All last week, I would tell him, "I'm going to miss you when you're at school!" And he would say, "Don't worry, I'll be back after I read books! I gonna fink about you!" So stinkin' cute!
Last night, he begged me to let him pack his Iron Man and Captain America in his backpack!
I've been praying for both of them like crazy over the past several days as the start of school got closer, but I know they're going to do great! And I know that God's going to continue guiding and protecting them.
Goodness, I could just eat them up! I packed both of their lunches this morning, and included little notes and homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Our 7th grader!
Our kindergartener.
My heart and my prayers went with these two this morning.
Daddy walking Sarah to her first day of kindergarten.
Daddy walking Jackson to his first day of kindergarten.
The picture of Daddy and Sarah is one of my all time favorite pictures, and I just love that I now have one of him with Jackson too. He's such an amazing Papa Bear!
I couldn't wait to pick up Jackson and hear all about his day! As soon as he saw our car, he smiled and yelled, "Mommy!" It made my day! Once Daddy buckled him up, we asked him all about his day! This is what he said:
I was paintin' with hands!
I have 25 new friends and only one old friend.
We went to one playground! It had buses and swings!
One of my grills (girls) in class got sand in my eye and my mouth too.
I cowored (colored) a raccoon!
I missed you!
When we picked Sarah up, she asked, "How was your day, Jackson?" He replied, "I already told my mom, and I don't want to repeat it."

I was so excited to see Sarah this afternoon! Once she got in the car, she told us all about her great day! She said:
I liked all of my teachers.
I really love my English teacher.
My math teacher is cool, too.
My science teacher is very loud. He's a football coach also. He had us make a list of what we liked and disliked. The first thing on my dislike list was geology.
My Texas history teacher kinda reminded me of you, Dad. He was really no-nonsense, but at the same time, super funny!
Band was really awesome!
One of my friends has the same exact schedule as me.
I liked my lunch, and the note. I also liked the Bible verses in my binder. Thanks, Mom.
Goodness, I love her! I'm so grateful that she had such a great day!

Then, we went for our traditional first day of school treats! We also shared lots of big hugs!
