Date with Jackson

One of my favorite things in the whole world is going on dates with my babies.

Jackson picked Tuesday to be our date days, so now, Tuesday is my favorite day of the week!

 We had a great time and even got into an argument on who loves who more!  He's the best!

First Day of School Treat

One of my favorite traditions is the first day of school treat...because while we eat them, Bryan and I get to hear all about their first day!

Jackson:
It was pretty boring but also fun!
We did no work really.
Apparently I was on the wrong class at the beginning, but after a minute, I realized what class I was supposed to be in!
My teacher is nice!
All of my teachers are the chill type.
It was sad because we didn’t do science at all, but that’s already my favorite class.
My lunch was good
The recess area looks nicer this year.
Mrs. Knotts, (his kindergarten teacher, now his science teacher), gave me a hug!
Mrs. Scott yells—not to be mean, just so people can hear her.
You need to look at my agenda, and read everything, but not writing, because it’s not important.
We have a spelling test on Friday, and apparently there are 2 surprise words that you can’t prepare for.
It was definitely weird being back at school!

Sarah:
It was good.
I feel pretty confident about Economics .  Mr. Beene is super cool and curves the test.
I love my Biology teacher, and she said “we’re not doing anything because today is weird.”
My Algebra teacher is crazy, and I knew he was an odd bird, but I didn’t know he was that crazy.  But I love him!  And the class seems so easy!
It was pretty uneventful.
I missed Diamond like crazy!

First Day Then and Now

Sarah's first day of kindergarten.

 Sarah's first day of 12th grade.

I can't believe she's already in her senior year of high school!  I have absolutely loved having a front row seat to all of it though.  I'm so proud of the person she's become.

First Day of School!

Today was the kids' first day of school!  It's also the first time they've left for school in 5 months!

It's Sarah's first day of 12th grade!

I don't know how it's her senior year!

She's already had a scholarship interview, she's starting to apply to colleges, and she wants to be a journalist.

And it's this guy's first day of 5th grade!

I can't believe he's as old as he is either!

He wants to be an anesthesiologist--just like his Dad!--when he grows up!

 These two are my heart, and I pray that have a great first day and a wonderful year!
