The start of school

I feel a little sickish. I just dropped Ashley and Ainslee off for their first day of school. I don't want to let them out! This is what I really want to say to them:


Stay here with me where I'll protect you from the terrible things that happen in the world! Then again, life is a growing process and you can't grow to your full potential with just us here. You'll have wonderful experiences and you'll learn a lot. I just hope that you are nice with everyone and you remember how special you are. I miss you already and it's not even been 2 hours yet!



Ainslee off to 1st grade




Ashley off to 2nd grade

Man, how time flies

Are we really this old??

Happy 10 year Anniversary!!

So Mixed Up

Does anyone else think:

"Oh my gosh, somebody take my kids! They are driving me crazy with all the bickering and screaming. By the end of the day they'll be up for sale!!! AAAAAHHHH!"

AND

"I love these summer days with my kids. Taking it easy, letting them sleep in,and just letting them be kids. I'm so happy I get to just look at them all day long and I don't want this time in our lives to end"

at the same time???

I do.
