First Day of School

Josh 7th, Kyndra 6th, Hailee 4th,
Gabe 1st, and Michael in Pre-school



They all had a fun day at school. Josh and Kyndra had no problems.Hailee had to take summer school to take her FCAT test again so she could advance to 4th grade. She passed and we are so proud of her. She worked super hard this summer. She loves her teacher and she enjoys school. She loves to be with her friends. Gabe also did great.When he got to his room he had to find his desk. He had a little hard time finding it. He was looking a little worried . So I went in to help him. His desk had his full name Gabriel. He has only gone by the name Gabe..No worries, we figured it out. He had a good time. Now Michael on the other hand, he was so excited to go to school with the other kids. Did great until it was time to pick him up. The other parents got there super early. We were still early but he saw all the others kids leave and he thought he was going to stay and that we would forget him. This is the first time he has been alone without his siblings around. This is a big step for him. He goes 5 days from 9am., to 12:00pm. In South Florida the program(VPK) is free. The state wants them to be ready for Kindergarten. It make a long day for him. When he comes home he wants his lunch and to take a nap. So my afternoons are very quiet. So far...Fridays at school Michael takes a karate class.
He loves it and shows us all his new moves.

Hailee cut her hair. Well... Jen probably did but it is darling. Kyrdra, you are absolutely beautiful. I'm sorry but it is just wrong that our tiny Michael is in school:) Josh, your as handsome as ever. And Gabe, I can't begin to tell you how much you were missed on the 1st day of school!!! love you all.

You all look so beautiful and handsome! I am glad that you had a great first day. we miss you all now more than ever. I miss those side by side shots at their desks and the comfort of leaving one of mine with one of yours! Matt misses Josh on the football field as well as school. Adam says it is not the same without Hailee and Mark would sure enjoy being at school with Gabe! We love you all and miss you so much!
