First Day of School...

This year was a little bit hard for me as we approached the first day of school.  I tried not to think about it too much but it was blaring in the headlights at me.  This would be Josh's last "first day of school" and Meili's first.  Hard to think about Josh's last and hard to see my sweet little girl start Kindergarten.  But it's still always fun.  There's something about starting fresh....new crayons, crisp paper, brand new pencils, fresh pressed clean clothes, the excitement in the air.  So here's the pics.....Josh 12th grade, Abi 9th grade, Nick 6th grade (starting middle school), J.D. 4th grade, and Meili Kindergarten.  JD was super excited as he was chosen to be on Youth 2000 this year.  It's such a great experience and so fun.  Their theme this year is "Is It In You?"  His gatorade shirt is their shirt and they helped greet all the kids  on the first day and helped the kindergarteners find their classes.   He was SO cute with Meili.  I had a friend spying for me.  I put Meili on the bus and it surprised me but she was a little reluctant....especially since JD had to be their early.  So she was a little nervous but my friend said JD was at the bus doors before they even opened to get her.  And he put his little arm around her and helped her so she wouldn't trip on the curb and took her all the way to her class.  Thank goodness for good big brothers!

Work hard and stay on task kiddies!!!
