Its time.....


...to return to school!! Elijah was way more excited than Caden was. I don't think Caden enjoys school nearly as much. Elijah has a brain alot like Nick...and can remember things so easily and is a smart boy! Im so proud of him and all he has accomplished with testing 6th grade level in reading and 5th grade math. Way to go!! My sweet Caden...you remind me alot of myself. You do your best, and you do so well at all you do buddy. I understand how hard it can be but you too are also smart. Not testing higher than your grade level, but thats exactly how I was. School never came easy for me and I can see that in Caden.
Nick stays home later on the "first school day" to make the boys breakfast and walk them to the end of the lane. They requested waffles for breakfast.

Elijah all ready...hair done and dressed...waiting for bus! I smile, because he is really becoming his own little man. He has requested that we not cut his hair(although I told him if it gets to his ear lobes...it will be cut). He asked for some gel, hair spray, a pick, deoderant, and some mouth wash for the new school year....oh how you are growing up. Im excited for this year and to watch you continue to grow!!

And my sweet little Caden....all ready...as ready as he can be....for his first day. He not long ago got his hair cut, but after watching Elijah's grow out...he has now requested that his hair grow long too!! Nick and I just smile at each other, cause he really does try to be like Elijah in certain things. He doesn't know it yet, but we aren't letting him grow out his hair to much....at least not as long as Elijah's is. It is long for him right now, and he is happy to style it each morning, but as soon as he starts complaining about doing his hair...we are going to recommend cutting it.

Walking down the lane....you will notice our "new pet" in the picture. This cat's name is Shadow. Our dog is no more....lead poisoning as nick called it:).

Bus is here....have a wonderful day! As I always tell my kids each morning after I give them each a kiss.... Have a good day. Obey your teachers the FIRST time, be a good example, and HAVE FUN!!!

I love you boys!!
