Back To School 2010!

They don't look excited or anything do they?!
Today is the 1st day of school! I heard children talking at 5:50am today, so I believe it was a short night, with all the excitement about the upcoming school year!

Over the past few weeks, though, there has been a HUGE concern amongst the 2 big girls:
WHERE would we take 1st day of school pictures? "Mom...we ALWAYS take them by your Black Eyed Susans at the old house!" (There was a small part of me that thought of driving back to the old house JUST to keep tradition!) Maybe next year, girls....we're trying to transplant some Black Eyed Susans...this year, the huge geraniums will have to suffice!

School children with Dad and Mom:

4th grade Ellie.

2nd grade Jayna.

And....sniff sniff.....KINDERGARTENER Ava!!!
She actually went for a short day last week, to the Teddy Bear Party--the left photo below shows Ava ready to go to school with her pink bear! She was very excited....and I did try to tell her it wouldn't hurt to keep her home 1 more year.... ;)

And what would our morning be like without Comical Colin? He was all over the picture taking...here are a couple of his humorous poses:
Thankfully, Colin will be napping while Ava is gone in the afternoon. He would be lost without his beloved "GaGa"!

Here are the girls once we got to school: Ava by her cubby and Ellie and Jayna at their desks.

Happy School Year, Everyone!
