1st Day of School

Little fuzzy (it felt as humid as it looks...Fay is looming offshore)

Gracie Mae in 2nd Grade

Welcome to kindergarten, Jaxon

Jax and Mrs. Johnson

Are we twins?

Well, the unimaginable has happened...our baby has started kindergarten. Today was the 1st day of school for both children. Gracie is in 2nd grade, and Jaxon is in kindergarten. We are still not sure how all of this happened, but there are many mixed emotions running through our family right now.

Gracie was, surprisingly, a little apprehensive about 2nd grade. We met her teacher last Friday, and she seems very nice (even though she is from Oklahoma and graduated from OU - at least her husband got his degree at OSU). Gracie will also have her for reading; Gracie's math teacher is the same one she had last year (and will also be her math teacher next year). We are looking forward to another great year!

Jaxon was blessed to get Mrs. Johnson for his teacher. She was Gracie's kindergarten teacher, and we can't sing her praises enough. We know Jax will have a wonderful year with her. It was SUCH a relief when we found out we got her; Jax already knows her, so he feels comfortable. He is so shy that he didn't say 1 word to her the whole year Gracie had her. He finally started talking to her last year when Gracie moved on to 1st grade. He was just fine when we left him this morning even though he had that 'deer in the headlights' look.

Wish us luck as we start a new chapter in our lives...
