The first day of first grade

 Well, we've come quite a long ways from one year ago.
Alot of growing and learning..
It all started with the "I, I, Indian"...

I had fun teaching him last year, i really did.
And if i could just be a teacher and not a teacher,housekeeper and mom,, i think i could handle homeschooling even better.. :)
Let's just say in homeschooling, i gained a whole new respect for homeschooling moms!

Our church school has 1st grade through 12..
So today Carter began his first day of first grade.

It's like we are starting a new chapter in our lives.
The one where you have to be responsible.. taking your child to school AND picking him up again..
I'm just curious how many times in my children's lives that i will forget them at school??
Only time will tell.. !:)

Pictures from this morning...

 To say he was excited is an understatement...
:)

Posing with all of the siblings...
Little brother wasn't too impressed.
It appears as though he is not thrilled about his brother leaving one little bit.
In all reality, i think he was just wanting to be crawling or clinging to his mama instead.. :)

At school..

He has got the sweetest teacher around!

This is the first grade class minus one that wasn't there right then..
So cute..

Here we go...
It's really weird to think that
We have entered this era..
And now we are going to be in it for a very long time!!

Oh i know..
millions have done this before us.
But now it's US
and it just seems weird..

Pretty soon it'll all be old hat, i know.

I guess for me, i just feel old(er).
Yup.
Driving a MINI van and
dropping my child off at school.
Old, i tell ya.
 ;)

Quote from hubby last night after a PTA meeting..
"It feels like we are part of a new club now"
