First Day of School

Owen did wonderful! He really did seem quite excited about today.

His incredibly thoughtful daddy showed up at the house @ 8:15 after going to work at 6 am! We were all so surprised and excited that he could come with us on such a big day. Thanks Blake for being such a wonderful father and husband. I would have been a mess had you not been there with me. And not only is he a wonderful daddy...he is mighty handsome too! Lucky me!

We walked Owen to his class and joined them all in a story...The Kissing Hand. This is one I shared a long time ago that is one of our favorites. So just listening to the story read by his teacher did make me tear up. Luckily I was distracted and could composed myself because Emery started squirming in my arms. The teacher gave one parent and each child a sticker. After the story she told each child to give their mommy or daddy a kiss and the sticker and say good-bye. Owen quickly got up and decided to give his brother the sticker. It was TOO sweet! Luckily I had my camera close by and got these precious pics.

Notice in these pics how Cooper is showing his "kissing hand" and his sticker. He was so touched.

We feel so blessed that today went so well. Owen said he had a blast today and couldn't wait to go back tomorrow to see his new friends again. Thank you Jesus! He did miss his brother and sisters though...

Blake and I decided we officially feel grown up with a child in school.

Good thing we have other munchkins to make us feel young! She was cooing and making smiles so I thought I would try and get it on camera. She just thinks the camera is weird because she gets all serious on me!

Little lady, you stop all that growing you're doing. Stop it right now!
