He's off

It has started. Today is Carson's first day of Kindergarten. We set his alarm for 6:15. Before I was even out of bed, he was out of his room with his clothes in hand. Jeff got up early and made some bacon. Carson picked bacon, fruit and yogurt for his first breakfast. He ate, got dressed, brushed his teeth, and was ready to go. He was really excited. We took some pictures on the front porch like we do every year.


Troy was very interested in what we doing outside when it was still dark!
Jeff left to go out of town before we left for the bus stop. We woke Macie up and started the .17 mile treck to the bus stop. The county gave us a paper that told us the distance. I was not happy about having to get Macie out of bed, but it was too big of a risk to leave her at home.
This is Carson's buddies at our bus stop. Carson, Ryan, Carter, and Miles. Ryan and Miles are starting 1st grade, so they were telling the boys what to do. We also met a new little boy named Christian. He was shy since we just met him, but he is in Carter's class.
Carson and his best buddy Carter.
All the kids lined up to get on the bus ..Mitzi, I blurred the county name for you!

Some how, Carson ended up being the last one on the bus. If you look really closely you might be able to see Cole sitting in the front seat. He is the stop before us.
So, the next 13 years of his life begin of school. I am looking forward to him coming home and telling me about his day. There are 7 kids from our neighborhood in his class. He doesn't really know them, but I am hoping he will. There is a chance he will get a new teacher in the next week of 2. There are 22 or 23 kids in all the classes. I think they are suppose to max out at 22. So, it looks like they will hire a new teacher and start a new class. I just hope they do it soon so it won't be a big deal.

I couldn't get mine to blur, like I did for the parade pictures, so I went with the big black bar!!

Oh my goodness. I can't even imagine. That seems like forever from now, but since Jacob's almost 3 I guess it is closer than I think. I know you are so proud of him that he faced it head on. Way to go, Carson!!

I liked my big boy's smile. Tell him Grandma will call tonight to hear all about it.

I so thought of you this morning. Megan and I were out and about early and I almost called you to see how the bus stop excitement went. Hard to believe Carson is already in school. Wow. And I'm with amy in asking - did you cry?
