...of school! And of course I totally forget my camera in the rush to get everything done and get everyone out the door on time.

My littlest guy, Nathaniel, has his first day of Elementary school today. He was SO excited and climbed right up the bus steps without any hesitation or looking back.

My middle son, Austin, has his first day of Middle School. He's looking so grown up. He was kinda quiet this morning and a little wide-eyed about the whole thing. I think he's as surprised to find himself in Middle School as I am.

And my oldest, Petra, is off to her first day of High School. Ohmygosh....just yesterday she was a little girl....so who was that young woman that walked out of the door with a huge grin on her face today??? "Bye Mom! I'm off to HIGH SCHOOL!......Only four more years to go!!!" (As if I needed reminding of that fact??? LOL) She's so beautiful!
