And so, here we are once again with the first day of school. I've been blogging for a whole year now and doing a lot better job of keeping up with it than I ever thought I would! Do you recall the pictures from the first day of school last year?? Some smiles, some tears. Well, this year it was all happy (or for the most part, anyway.....)! Holland was too nervous to eat breakfast and spent a good bit of time in the bathroom this morning, but was a real trooper about starting the 4th grade. She got just a little misty at the last moment when I had to say goodbye and leave, but I can't blame her a bit. She gets every bit of her anxiety about new situations from me. I may even cry when I have start school next Monday - who knows?! Payton ate her mini muffins and then said several times that her tummy hurt because she was so full (also a case of the butterflies, I'm sure). Somehow 14 kids from her 2nd grade class ended up in her 3rd grade class, which is a pretty sweet deal. Even I knew every one of the kids at her table! She won't have any problems adjusting.
And so, they continue to grow up way too fast, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I just have to enjoy this ride right along with them and remember to make the most of every day and enjoy this precious time...... Does anyone have a kleenex???

These are indeed precious times!! Because before you know it, they will stand before you as beautiful young women in their wedding gowns... and you say Goodbye to your best friend.. and give them flight. Believe me, I know... ENJOY every moment... and pass me a hanky!

We sure have some cuties!!
Absolutely adorable -- inside & out!
Good grief mom, was it really that bad?! :) I can remember the day Holland was born. It's crazy that they're BOTH so grown up now. I have that anxiety junk too; I cried every first day of school until my senior year. Seriously.
