Steppin' into a New School Year


It was an early morning for the kiddos who were accustomed to sleeping well past 9:00AM during the summer!

Zack was too tired for smiles so I took what I could get!

This one is never too tired to pose! Her she is at the beginning of her first day of kindergarten!

"Mom, why are you taking pictures"? "I am not in kindergarten"!

Here is Sophia right before going into class. She starts school at 10:00AM (two hours after Zack) so she was EAGER to get in that door!

Tired but proud mama! Be kind - I spent 5 minutes on me, and 55 on the kids! Oh no, I am officially one of THOSE moms! Frumpy???

Standing tall Hello Kitty and all...

Zack is such a gentleman. He opens the door any time he sees that a woman needs to enter or exit. He ALWAYS opens the door for me and Sophia. This is, for the most part, a lost art! I hope with Zack, women will know that chivalry is not dead!!!! Plus he feels so many when he takes charge. I think it is a great habit to build.

This is Sophia's teacher, Miss Diaz! They have hit if off smashingly well. I am SO HAPPY! Good teachers are half the battle!

Zack's teacher, Mrs. Ulrich has been teaching for 12 years, and she is very passionate about what she does. Zack is enjoying school tremendously which is great! He says that Mrs. Ulrich is his best teacher ever. His kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Wayland was pretty darn awesome so if Mrs. Ulrich proves to be better, we will be so beyond blessed! LOL

I love first day of school pictures! So glad things sound good for school so far. Teachers can definitely make or break the year.

The kids look great! My girls would be so jealous of her "kitty kitty" backpack and lunch bag. Old boring mom and pop her picked out some plainer types for the trip home from Ukraine and school. They have cute Hello Kitty stuff all around the house though. She is one character I don't mind. I loved that store growing up!

Cute pictures. It is so much fun to walk through the halls and see all the little ones who seem like they are smaller than their backpacks. You will fondly look back at this time when they get older.
