Lunches were packed (I’m a bit rusty…that’s going to take me a while).
Backpacks loaded with all my homework/paperwork from Back to School night.
Final instructions were given.
Eye rolls were absorbed.
And there was this. Of course…

But real quickly before they loaded in, I did get this….

I’ll take it.
I love them.
They are such great kids.
All so messed up.
But so great.
They are off….


Happy first day Landers kids! Btw, the first picture is AWESOME. Daws totally earns my respect with that face!
That made me laugh when you said they are all so messed up. Ha! But so great too…:-)
Suddenly Quincy looks way old.
Wow – such a great bunch of kids – you and Andy do good work – and what kid isn’t messed up from time to time – it’s a right of passage, I think. It’s too cliche’ – but I can’t believe how big they seem to have grown overnight. Blessings on your school year, kids – make it a great one!
