Hope and Jaydens First Day of School-August 22, 2011

Today was Jaydens first day of Kindergarten and Hopes first day of 2nd grade.  They both were so excited. and we even got out of the house on time to get a quick family picture.

Here's Jayden walking to his classroom with his big boy Hurley backpack from his grandma.

Here he is getting ready to walk into the hallway of where his classroom is.  This hallway brought back memories for Justin and I since we both went to school at Keswick and spent many years in these hallways walking in and out of our classrooms.   

We feel so blessed to be able to send Jayden to Keswick this year.  Thanks to a scholarship from Jesus!

Here is a picture of Jayden with his Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Martel.  She is known as the M&M teacher.  Her whole room is decorated in M&M's and if they are good at the end of the day they get one or two pieces. :)  I"m anxious to see if that's enough to motivate Jayden to be on his best behavior all day. :)

He felt like such a big boy. 

And another picture of him sitting at his desk.  He is the most handsome Kindergartener I know. :)

And one more snapshot with daddy before we tearfully had to say goodbye.

Next we were off to take Hope to school at Seminole Elementary.  Here she is with mommy outside of her 2nd grade classroom!

Hopes is excited to have her friend Reagan in her class this year.

My sweet girl at her desk getting ready for the day.  And she's the most gorgeous 2nd grader I know. :)

And one last snapshot with her teacher, Mrs. Swartz, before I had to kiss her goodbye also.

And than mommy and Keegan were all by ourselves:(  We thought about them all day!  I miss my babies so much and can't believe how fast they are growing up.  I wish time would slow down. 

When I picked them up they were so excited to tell me all about their day.  They both had a great time and can't wait to go back tomorrow!

P.S. Jayden got M&M's today! :)
