First Day of School - 2006/2007

Here's Brendan in one of his new shirt and short outfits! He is so excited. Today is only Kindergarten Orientation...his daddy took him in for just a couple hours and had lunch with him. Brendan is very much looking forward to riding the bus by himself. He was quite upset that he wouldn't be riding today like his sister. It looks like his bus ride will be 10 minutes or less! I'm very thankful for that.
Here are all three of our children waiting for Cara's bus...they were just having fun and being silly. Caitlin kept seeing squirrels and plugging her nose...like they were stinky. That whole thing first started at the Fair last Thursday when we visited the pig building...that was cute.

And here's Miss Cara.....7 1/2 years old and starting 2nd grade. Doesn't seem possible that I have a child this old. (Sorry this photo is kinda blah...the lighting in that room isn't too great.)
I just love this shot....Caitlin and Cara are pretty good buddies. When the bus pulled away this morning, Caitlin started running down the sidewalk after her....made me a little sad. But now it's just her and I....and I can really concentrate on training her in the way she should go. We have to work on a few things (like hitting and screaming) and potty training may start very soon!
And here's Caitlin at the table...she was enjoying some donut holes that Grandma brought along. My husband's mom came over bright and early to see the kids off.
