First Day of School

Poor Christalynn was so nervous on her first day! The teachers sat them down in the cafeteria as other children were eating breakfast and Christalynn was telling a teacher, "I don't want to eat! I already ate at home!"

Raelee is growing up so fast! She lost her 5th tooth the night before the first day of school!
Christalynn is my crazy eccentric child! She makes you laugh! And Raelee who likes to show off, makes you laugh too! (I needed to do some cropping on this photo!! :))

So the first day of school has come and....gone! Both Raelee and Christalynn are in school together, Raelee First Grade and Christalynn Kindergarten. This is so crazy to believe! What happened to my cuddly little baby girls, now they are my big cuddly little girls. Raelee's teacher is known to me and my extended family from when I was a child, so Raelee had gotten the whole "you better be good because your teacher knows me and your MawMaw & Granddad!" speech. Christalynn's teacher is the same teacher Raelee had last year, so Christalynn got the "your daddy and I know your teacher from last year and your teacher knows to call us if you are any trouble" speech. My girls are good girls, just like to enstill some fear into them that they can't get away with anything. It definitely worked with me as a child when my parents knew everyone, surely it will work for me raising my kids! :)

So now its just boy time...haven't decided if this is good or bad! I will lose my "Momma Boys" at this rate!

And here is Ryan, who my baby will be turning 1 year old tomorrow! Happy Early Birthday Ryan! I can't believe it has already been a year! God has blessed me with a child who is so independent, very active, and not at all a cuddling baby. Ryan has been the finishing touch to our family.

I love all my kids, in their each unique personality. It is so fun to watch them grow together. The Lord is good, all the time!
