School has begun

Today was Carys' first day of preschool. For those of you that don't know her, she can be very shy. I was a little nervous that she might cry or be upset when we dropped her off. You will see from the pictures below that she was not at all. AT her school, the teachers get the kids out of the car and walk them to their room. When Broderick went to preschool I always walked him in the first week. Rob and I both thought she would do better if we started out having the teachers get her out. It proved to be a great choice. I am proud to say I did not shed a tear or even feel like I was going to. I can't really explain why, I just felt a great peace from the Lord. After we dropped her off, it was very weird to have no children. (Broderick was at Kindergarten which you will read about later.) I could have come home and cleaned or gone to church and worked, but I choose to enjoy my first day of no children for a whole 2 hours! (Yes that is all it ends up being.) I met my sister and nephew, Jamison, for coffee and then we went shopping. It was great! I did miss the kiddos, but it was refreshing to spend time with my sis!

She just kept waving, smiling and walking.

After school we came home for a special lunch in muffin tins and cupcakes!

Broderick started Kindergarten last Wednesday. He looked like such a big kid and was also very excited. I was not nervous about him being upset at all. I did cry when we dropped him off Wednesday and Friday. Again, I can't explain why. It's not that I didn't have peace about him, I just tend to worry about him more.

Me and my boy!

Walking in to school his first day!

After school we met Rob for lunch and then I took him to the store to pick out a special dessert. He picked Chocolate Frosted Brownie! That is my kid!
He has had a great time and already seems to be learning somethings. (Which is always good since that is what he is going for.) I am very pleased with both of their teachers and I am looking forward to the year!
