Day 1
My Sweet Pieces,
You're a Kindergartner now! How did that happen?
You were so excited on our Mother Daughter date.
It was one of the best nights we've ever had together.
You listened with reverence to the blessing Daddy gave you the night before school started.
You didn't act embarrassed that your mother had a camera in your face on the first day.
You clung to our legs, told us that you refuse to grow up, that you're going to live with us forever, and you even cried a little....especially when Daddy left to go to work.
Finally, your teacher coaxed you into the classroom by telling you a secret. Then you smiled, and went into class happily, but with extreme caution.It actually felt okay to know you are at least a little sad about this big change. Seeing you cry nervously broke my heart, but I knew you'd be ok very soon. I decided to postpone taking pictures of you at your desk and cubby until Day 2 because the longer I hung around, the more difficult it was for you.
Once I got in the car, I cried a little, too.
I love you so much, Reese.
I am proud of you for being brave and trying something that was new and difficult for you.
You can do hard things.
You continue to amaze me every day with your strength, will power, memory, and awesome personality. You are one cool kid and I am so glad you are mine.
I guess it would be selfish to keep you at home to myself another year.
Day 2

I don't know how you did it!! I have one week left until total meltdown.
She looks so big!! so cute.
Aww, brought tears to my eyes too! And i have 2 years before my first goes off. She is so adorable!
Yeah for Reese loving Kindergarten...and, soon, the bus!
aww i love that girl. cute pictures great letter.
What a cutie! YAY for school....for little ones....as for the grownups? UGH!
Oh man, I still vividly remember you bringing her to church all wrapped up in a blanket. I can't remember how old she was and cant believe how big and brave she is.
So, Evie looks at the picture of Aaron and the girls and says, "Mooom. I wanna see Quincy again" and every time we go to super taq, she whines that she wants to see her friends. Is she starved for friendship or what?
umm is Quin wearing Disney princess shoes?!
oh and i love the Reese is wearing the pretties J gave her.
cuteness!!!
Yup. Light up shoes.
I swore I'd never.
Apparently, Aaron did not take the same vow. He was SO proud of himself for picking out shoes for the girls. I was proud of him for picking out PLAY shoes for the girls. They don't go to school.
Not yet, anyway!
I think Quincy looks more excited about the first day of school than Reese does!
And how was Mom's first day of school today?
