First Day of School

I can't believe I have a 4th grader and a 1st grader! They are getting so big! It seems like just yesterday, Rylee was going to her first day of kindergarten.

This year, Bill took the kids to their first day of school, so we had to get some pictures of him with the kiddos. Hayden thought he needed to get in on the action too. That's okay with me because he usually fights us when we want to take his picture. We'll see how it goes when I try to take pictures of his first day of preschool. :)

Rylee all gussied up and ready for school.

Lana and her daddy. I think Bill looks more nervous about Lana's first day of 1st grade than she does.

Lana bounding down the stairs, all ready for school. She couldn't wait!

My two cute girls together.

Rylee and Lana being the silly girls that they are.

Another daddy shot with the three oldest ones. Kate wasn't awake yet.

Rylee trying to not look up at me. That sun was brutal!

Lana pulling a classic Lana face for me.

The girls walking away from me together, taking care of each other...

...or not. Rylee stepped on a worm and Lana thought it was hilarious. This picture is of Lana laughing her head off after she told Rylee about the worm she just smashed. Rylee was horrified.

Rylee wiped that worm off of her foot for a good couple of minutes. She couldn't wipe it enough.

Kate finally woke up and got in on the picture action.

These two are very rarely apart from each other. It won't be long before they are the ones I am taking a picture of, holding hands as they walk to school.

Kate giving her daddy kisses good-bye. She is one affectionate little bugger. We love it!

She gets the affectionate trait from her daddy.

The kids had an awesome first day of school, and I missed them like crazy! But they were happy when they walked through the door after school, and as a mom, that is the best end to the first day of school.
