The First Day of School, 2009 style.

And here we are... Apparently I took the summer off of blogging, but it's a new school year, which means new blogs and new beginnings!

We celebrated the First Day of School with our traditional homemade waffle breakfast...

And then the obligatory "photos in front of the house"...

First, the First Grader...

Then the two of them, ready to go.

Now, the Fourth Grader!

And, finally, the First Day of School tradition isn't complete without dad walking the kids to school. :)

I love that he insists on doing this. :)

They had a WONDERFUL day, both of them LOVE their teachers, and they are excited about all the potential the new year has to offer. I am looking forward to a little quiet around the house so that maybe (MAYBE) I can actually work during the day, instead of after they go to bed!
