After a much too short summer, school started yesterday. I now have a 6th grader, 4th grader and as of next week 2 kindergartners. Yesterday felt much too quiet with the two older kids at school. Next week my mornings will be really weird when it is just me and Lucky.
Ethan-: Our new 6th grader. Ethan gets to ride a bus everyday. I can't say enough how excited I am about that. We take him to his old elementary school (Alta View) where a bus picks him up and takes him to Midvale Middle School.

Red Carpet and Jim's debut as the Kittyhawk:
Lizzie's school did something new this year for the first day and rolled out a red carpet for all the students to walk on while heading into the school. Each side of the red carpet was lined with parents cheering them on (and bubbles). Jim even dressed up like the Kittyhawk to greet and high five students :) Fox 13 news was there and interviewed both me and Lizzie. We made the 5:00 segment. Yes, we now have 15 seconds of fame.

The kids and parents LOVE the Kittyhawk when he makes appearances. It is like a celebrity is nearby. People get excited, nervous, in awe, etc. It is so fun to see. |
Kittyhawk aka Jim and our new principal Mrs. Magann on the first day of school. I work with her A LOT. She is amazing!!! |

Both kids seemed to have a good first day of school which I am very grateful for.
We are now officially off to another school year....
