As usual, the summer ended too quickly and we were all forced back into a routine of schedules, appointments, and obligations. We were kind of ready for the transition back, but as always, more than a little reluctant to give up our free time together.
The kids all got great teachers again this year and have lots of friends in their classes. We are so excited about everything that they will be doing and learning. I'm not sure how it happened but I now have a fifth grader. I clearly remember almost not being able to leave the building on the first day of Kindergarten, so I am not certain how so much time has passed between then and now. Neither she nor Carson needed me to walk them in this year, but of course I did
anyway and I got my first day of school pictures. I am thinking that
Laiken will ban me from walking her into middle school next year and I will deal with that when the time comes. I was doing fine on this first day of school until she announced as we walked through the doors, "Well, this is the last time I will walk through these doors on the first day of school." And, then the air left my lungs.
A few days later, as Nolan was off for his first day of preschool, I realized that in a few years I will be a 38 year old Kindergarten mom. I will be doing a field trip to the zoo when I am 38....sigh....

The kids do grow up way too fast, and you are right, Laiken probably won't let you set foot in that middle school on the first day! It'll be okay....your friends will help you through it! ;o)
Well consider how old i will be when I am doing field trips? Now thats scary!
