Off They Go

This morning, the alarm went off extra early. Our new routine as the school year begins. We've all been looking forward to this day for a while. Kalyn has been so excited to join Trinity at her school, ride the bus and meet all her new friends. Trinity has been excited to show Kalyn around the school, be back with her friends and learn cursive writing. We've done our school shopping, gotten lunch goodies to pack and pulled out the new school clothes (which is really just some longer shorts for Kalyn and some new shoes for Trinity).

We headed out to the bus, stopping for the traditional first day pictures, of course. The girls had picked out their clothes the night before and were ready to start the day. They both looked so cute in their little skirts (with the shorts attached underneath) and their backpacks.

We headed down the street to the bus stop.
Waiting for the bus on the bench Craig built a couple of years ago. We may outgrow it pretty soon.

The bus is here!!

Send our big girls off with our "I love you" sign.

I am already looking forward to hearing about their first day, their new friends and the general excitement! It will also be interesting to watch Xander as he adjust to not having his best buds with him at home. As he sat down for breakfast this morning, he called out, "Come on, guys. When are the girls coming to breakfast?" He was a bit sad that he had not been able to give them hugs before they headed off to school. He'll have fun today though - his buddy Asher is coming over.

Let the fun of the new school year begin!!!!
