First Day of School

Lucy started 3rd grade and Taylor started 6th grade.  I can't believe my oldest is in middle school and my youngest is in 3rd grade...that does not mean I am old it just means I had my children when I was very young.  :)  I was talking to some ladies the other day and we were discussing how when we had toddlers we used to look at the moms who had children that were all in school and think how old they were.  I don't think that way any more.

Both girls had a pretty good first day of school, lots of adjustments and changes to get used to.   I was thinking about Taylor's years in school and I realized...in the 8 years she has been attending school (preschool, kindergarten and 6 grades) she has attended 7 different schools in 4 different states and 2 different countries.  Only a military child would be able to say that.

6th grade and 3rd grade
One of Taylor's birthday gifts this year was to customize a pair of Converse sneakers.  She decided to wear them for the first time on the first day of school.  I think she did a good job designing her sneakers.
Russ was able to be home the morning of the first day of school. 
Waiting for the bus.  This is her first year riding the bus alone without her older sister.
This year Taylor walks to school with some of the other neighborhood kids instead of taking the bus.
