The Beginning...again

Today marks the beginning of another school year! The 2011/2012 school year has come! The boys actually woke on their own this morning and it wasn't too hard to get them moving and ready for school, they're growing up!

My 2 big boys are getting so big!

I'm not sure I like that. I mean we are suppose to be "training" them to be independent and be prepared to be on their own - but do I really have to like it?

They chose their poses this year, can you tell?

It made me so proud this morning that Ronnie wanted a picture with his little sister! That's not usually the role he takes!

And aren't they so cute together!?

Of course, Eli was not about to be left out!

This year Ronnie and Nathaniel will be in separate classrooms (at FCCS 1st and 2nd are together and 3rd and 4th are together). They will still be together for lunch and recess, but not all day long like last year. I think this will be good for both of them, I'm praying for a good year for both my boys!

So this morning as we ushered in another school year, my emotions are again going crazy. I'm proud of the little men Ronnie and Nathaniel are becoming and yet I want to hold on to my little boys! A 2nd and 3rd grader - is it really possible. It seems like just yesterday they went off for the very first first day!

I can't wait till they get home to hear all about their 1st day!
