I will say it one more time if I haven't already said it like a million times in my last few posts. I can't believe my babies are growing up so fast. I just want to make time stand still and keep them this little forever! I realized the day would come when they would be ready for me to just drop them off as they head into school but I wasn't ready for it to happen with both of them quite yet. Addie Blaire informed me on the first day that it was okay for me to just sit in the car "if I wanted" always one to be so sweet... but Britann pretty much told me "it was time for me to go!" Oh, the hurt I felt, the rejection...but then came the happiness in knowing that both my girls love school and their teachers which make it that much easier to pull away in the mornings and know that they are happy and content just where they are!
Addie Blaire's 1st Grade Favorites! This was our second year to try this idea and I just love doing it almost as much as they love picking all their favorites. I must say Addie Blaire's job choices have been rather interesting over the past two years. We went from a toe nail polisher last year to an artist this year! She definitely has a mind of her own when it comes to what she wants to do.
Our new backpack and lunchbox that she picked out all by herself this year!
It looks about as big as she is!
Darby Kate and Addie Blaire all ready to take on 1st Grade together!
Headed for the first time down the big kids hall in the main building!
Ready to get to work!

That weekend we spent the afternoon with my parents at the farm and and the girls picked out their very own hats from Pop's rack for the trip! I think they make for some of the cutest farmers around!
On Sunday Addie Blaire dressed herself from head to toe for church, including these fabulous white gloves and "Estee Lauder" purse that Nana gave her. She is definitely a girly girl no doubt about it!
And the next week it was Britann's turn to start school. We had made her poster at the same time as AB's because she just had to do one like big sis. She was so excited and I just loved all her answers that were so honest, just precious! She is starting at Mrs. Michelle's this year. Luckily, she let her come since her birthday isn't actually til mid September she will have to repeat 3 year program again next year but I knew she was ready for Preschool. I am so excited she has the chance to go where big sister did because she loved Mrs. Michelle and I know Britann will too!
Her backpack! She never forgets this thing, every morning she asks where her backpack is... I just wish big sister did the same somehow she seems to forget hers more than little sister does.
So excited to be going to her school for the first time!
Britann and Mrs. Michelle
She didn't waste any time starting to play with all the kiddos. She jumped right in there just like a big girl and started making new friends. I'm so proud that she seems so happy to be going to school!
So here's to another great year ahead for my kiddos. I pray that God will watch over them, protect them and heal them. I pray they will learn everything that school teaches them but most importantly each day that they are exposed to and grow in their knowledge and love of God!
