First Day of School

The first day is always a bit bittersweet...WE LOVE SUMMER but the lack of routine eventually wears on me and I become an overwhelmed, unfocused, crazy person by the end of August. Many new things this school year for our family. Chase, 1st grade, is our last child to enter into public school...we'll miss our beloved Pilot Rock Christian School dearly. Sailor, 3rd grade, is the oldest sibling in our newly built elementary school which means we're trying to get her to carry the "Big Sister" torch but she's not having it yet. Jett, oh my baby...6th grade, middle school he has entered and momma's feeling sad about it. He, classically, locked his locker combo INSIDE his locker on the first day but recovered well because he probably wasn't the only one. He is happy and confident doing the middle school thang...more and more responsibilities and privileges have been bestowed upon him over this past summer. He's taking to the pre-teen thing pretty well so far. Here's a pic of the first day of school...with Auntie Sarah who is on her 5th day of her new school...Ashland Massage Institute!
