Yesterday was the first day of school and all my kiddos were off on new adventures. Noah started first grade, Emma started kindergarten, and Layla started preschool. It was a bittersweet day for me. It was a crazy summer with all three kids home and no vacation, so part of me was cheering as they each left. But by the time we dropped Emma off, it hit me how quickly they were growing up. And I can’t stop it or slow it down. So I’m going to try harder than ever to enjoy each moment.

 

Noah was the first to head to school. Waaaay too early in the morning.

Layla was super upset that she didn’t get to have a backpack like her brother and sister

Emma was the last to go because she has afternoon kindergarten. Every five minutes she asked if it was time yet. She was slightly excited.
