Two in Elementary School

Is it quite possible that we now have not one, but two kids in Elementary School?? How can this be?!? Sending the kids to school this morning was such a bittersweet moment as I was so proud to be the Mommy of both a 1st Grader and a Kindergartner, but at the same time I was so sad that our kids seem to be growing up faster with each blink of an eye.

It is going to be so awesome having them in the same school this year, with the same schedule, etc and now that Jeff's radio show has moved to the noon-2pm time slot, I will be getting help with the driving. It is going to be a glorious year for sure!

Brooke got the teacher she was hoping for, Ms. Dolan, and Austin followed in her footsteps and got Mrs. Donnelly(this we are thrilled about!) They didn't exactly get all of the friends they were hoping for in their homeroom classes, but since PKY is doing the Community Learning model, they will have plenty of time to enjoy with familiar faces!

The jump from Kindergarten to 1st seems like a HUGE leap! All I was able to do was walk Brooke down to her bench and she was officially not a little kid any more. As I walked away I could only reflect on how different things were from last year. We did, however; enjoy hanging out in Austin classroom as he got acclimated and made new friends all the while exploring his new surroundings. I have a feeling this is going to be a monumental year for that little guy!
