Grade One!

I can hardly believe Abbey and Michael are going into Grade One! Where has the time gone?! This year Steve was away...again...for the first week of school but my little honeys were awesome about getting up early (shockingly early as they usually rise around 8:30ish) and taking the bus (who can forget last year's fiasco!!!). We were up very early and at the bus stop by 7:30 (insert groan here!). My good friend Janice met their bus at the school to make sure Abbey and Michael didn't get lost in the shuffle of first day mayhem....it just breaks my heart that I can't be there for them but Janice is a sweetheart and offered to do it again this year. Here are some pictures she captured of the first day of school 2010.

Here they are just getting off the bus at R-D-V! It was sooo hot out! Felt like 33 degrees! oye!

This picture makes me sad! They look so grown up (even from the back) going off to their classroom independently. I'm so happy they have each other!

Update: Grade One is off to a great start! Abbey and Michael love their teacher and so far...Mommy does too! LOL!
