1st day of school!

Well, summer vacation is officially over and the new school year begins. Here are a few pics of McClain, Macy and Landy on their first day of school.
McClain is now in 3rd grade and known for being a "social butterfly". She's real excited to see all her friends.

Landy is starting 1st grade and is in the same class as Eric Nold. They can be best buds this year.

Today is Macy's first day of Kindergarten. I can't believe it. Time is just flying by. Before I know it I'll be walking Emma to class. They all did well and were very excited. No one cried....not even Mom. I did get a huge lump in my throat as I left the parking lot, which I can't really explain.
Macy was so excited to start school. The Kindergartens had the option of getting out at 11:30 today and tomorrow but she wants to stay all day. I know she do fine and have a wonderful day....but for some reason I feel weepy.

So....let me throw myself into my work today and forget about the fact that my little girls are growing up, like it or not!

(I like the way Burt closes each of his blogs with a fitting salutation and thought I'd steal his idea).

Feeling very blessed to have children,
Anne Marie

They look so grown up! I'm so glad to see Landy with a huge smile on her face.

What great pictures! My niece was the same way last year she didn't want to leave early from Kindergarten on the first day. Congratulations to all the kids and their mommies!

Men aren't supposed to get weepy...but I know what you mean! Since I became a dad, I have a tendency to cry easily. It seems the first good joyful cry over McClain's birth flipped a switch inside me. I now shed tears over the simplest of things involving my girls!

P.S. Boy aint those some purty young'uns!

I think it's so cool that your's and Paige's girls have each other there at school. They'll have such great "cousin" memories.
