tug of war and other fun games too

 Third grade field day was a success!

I arrived just in time to see tug-of -war.  I was so worried about Hayden's knee, but he did great and didn't seem to let it slow him down.

 I am thankful for a group of friends that encourage Hayden and help him be a better boy.  I have heard tons of 3 grade stories and I'm so thankful for his buddies.

My goodness Hayden's skin looks so unblemished in this picture.  His eczema is looking so much better and I'm so thankful!

it's the first day of school here in Texas

we have a new routine for drop off and pick up since I'm working this year.  i'm nervous for their first day and mine.  it is crazy that after 11 years we are in school together.  i think this will be a wonderful year as we all get into our family groove together.  we are all adjusting and adapting and dad isn't left out of this equation as he just started his brand new job in July!

last day of school!!!!

Hooray!!

She's now a 4th grader!

And he's a first grader!

Layla's first day of 3rd grade

I'm so proud of my sassy girl!

She started her second new school in less than a year.

She was a little nervous this morning when I walked her into the school, but this afternoon she was talking 100 miles a minute!

She had a fun homework assignment with a list of silly things to do, including writing her name with her toes!

She had a great first day and was literally climbing the walls with excitement! Haha!

Hayden starts school tomorrow and Layla has been such a positive influence when it comes to school! He's very excited and ready to go.
