Back to School!!!! Today was the day. I just LOVE the first day of school. The energy, the excitement, all the brand new supplies, and squeaky clean shoes! Love it. Every year fills me with memories...of going to school myself, first at Dalton, a tiny rural school and then the big 3rd grade move into school in "town." Riding the bus, afterschool snacks, snoopy book bag, & my conversation with mom after walking in the door every day after school.... Mom would ask, "What did you do at school today?" To which I would ALWAYS answer, "Nothing." I would share snipits about my day throughout the evening, but always in my own timing. Hmm....I think I'm raising a girl who does this EXACT same thing!!
I love the first day school photos of my kids. They always wear a nervous smile & this year was no different. I think this just may be my last year of getting away with taking Ella's photo in her class though. She was embarrassed and her teacher had begun giving directions so she gave me a "ok, cut the cord already, lady!" look.....
Nothing eases the nerves like a brother to love on!:) Ella is in fourth grade.
Claire is in second grade.
Good thing her backpack won't always be this full...It was twice as thick as she is!!!!

Love the pics and smiles! Can't wait to hear all the details!
Good job taking these pictures. Your girls are precious and they will enjoy having these picture someday!!! Even though, we're homeschooling I still want to always take the "1st day photo". Have a fun day with your boys, we'll have to have you 3 over, soon!
I can't beleive you have started school already. Our kids don't start for almost 3 weeks (Sept. 8). Neat memories from your school days (hopefully your kids learn more than their Mom). Say Hi to everyone.

What adorable photos! I too love the whole back-to-school thing. Fresh Crayolas.....ahhhhhh!
It brought back precious memories of when you lived here and went to school. You never wanted to share much but I tried. I loved you just the same. Mom
