First Day of School

August 27.  The first day of school.  A new era for me.  All of my babies are now in school.  At least I still have Andrew with me for part of the day since kindergarten is only in the afternoon.  Here are the highlights of the first day:

Sarah posing on the first day.  Like her new contacts?  I bet you didn't even know she wore glasses did you?

How about those earrings?

My new middle schooler.  He can't possibly be that big already can he?

First Grader at last.  Watch out Mrs. Wood!

A brand new kindergartener.  What do you think of his new specs?  He picked them all out by himself.  Blue was his favorite color that day!

How were your first days?
