Firsts

We have had several FIRSTS in the past couple of weeks, so I thought I better blog about them .

Today the twins had their FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN. It was so cute how excited they were and how they packed their backpacks, lunches, and set their clothes out the night before.  

Abigail is always willing to pose for a picture when the opportunity presents itself and she thought she needed a picture to show off her new lunch purse.

Headed off to school. Elizabeth's Koala is in the picture as a security item, she wanted him to ride in the car to school with us to help her be brave, so he did.

Just outside the classrooms. It was everything I could do to keep from crying. It's not that I will really miss them, I know they are in a good place and that they are coming home, it is that I can't believe that I have THREE Elementary School Age Kids and that we have actually all made it to this point in ONE PIECE. So, when I got to the car, I cried out of a sense of relief that the day had arrived!

Carson is 11 months old now and walking, trying to run, and has 8 teeth. I can't believe this BIG BOY will be ONE in a month.

Abigail's first day of school was last week. She chose a NEON YELLOW outfit to make her Grand Nan proud and went to school with wet hair because I wasn't feeling well and it was all I could do to make sure she had bathed. Darin took her to school, which was a good experience for him because he usually misses those things for work.

Because Carson is walking now, we decided to get him his FIRST pair of tennis shoes. You would have thought we had tied bricks to his feet because they almost completely immobilized him. Funny!
