First Day of School 2010

Summer has officially ended for us with the start of school today. It is bitter sweet, but more sweet than bitter :) We have had a great summer with the highlight being the arrival of sweet Otis to our home. We have also enjoyed great time with family and friends.

Leah is now in SECOND grade! Crazy!!! I cannot believe my baby is growing and it makes me crazy and emotionally overwhelmed, but we do love to watch her grow. Here she is all ready for school. She calls this her "adult" outfit, because the shirt has so many "layers"... I think she looks very cute in it :) She is in Mrs. Broderick's class and she is excited about that. We have heard great things about Mrs. Broderick, so we are looking forward to what she will be learning and how she will continue to develop her skills. :)

Mylo is now in Kindergarten. He is small (please don't tell him that :)) but wise beyond his years. I think he enjoyed his first day of school. He came home happy, so that is a good sign. He said he didn't make any new friends yet, but that he will. He seems to little to be in Elementary School. Below, he is giving us his "mad" face, but I think its just another one of his cute faces :) I am SO excited to watch him learn to read this year.

Milli wanted a picture too. She looks crazy, but happy. I am glad I get to enjoy her a little more one on one this year. She is so much fun and always so loving.


Dave gave the kids father's blessing last night after our FHE. It was beautiful to see the kids sit so reverently and the spirit was so strong. Dave also gave Milli a blessing as well... I have never seen her be so still and reverent! She was really listening to what was being said.

Great pic's and I"m glad Mylo had a good day at school even though he didn't make any mates.
Man if Masaru was there he'd have him you know.
That makes me sad.
Masaru starts tomorrow.
I don't want to talk about it!!

Leah look absolutely darling! Mylo...how cute is he. Love the pose and his little mad face. Milli looks just how Kylie did, loving all the excitement! Kylie said, "Mom, I need my backack" So Fun!

They looks so great! I am glad Mylo had a great day! I used to be a Pre-K teacher and I always worried the kids would not like the first day and not want to come back. Milli makes me laugh. She is too cute.

Coming home happy is a great sign! It'll be fun to see how kindergarten goes this year.

I can't believe Mylo is in Kindergarten. Your right he is too small. :) Glad they had a good first day.

Cute kiddos! So is Mylo in half-day or all-day kindergarten? And we had the same experience with the father's blessings. Ami wanted one too and was so still and reverent for it. It was adorable!!

Cute, cute, and cuter. I love them all. I can't even begin to believe that Leah is in 2nd grade! Mylo does look a wee bit small compared to his HUGE backpack.
