e’s first day.

Today was the day that Mr. Ephraim finally got to sit on the porch by himself and snap his first day of school picture without big sister. He starts three year old preschool this year which means he and I get a little time together before his day starts after packing Sarah up for school. This morning he was chomping at the bit. We have exactly an hour from the time we see Sarah off to the time we head out for his class. In that hour he managed to say the following things about school:

Mommy! Me and Sarah match…we’re both going to school today!

I’m not afraid of school. I love my new teacher and I love my new classroom!

I’m gonna wear my new shirt from Mr. Billy and I’m gonna show it to everyone.

Are you still getting ready? I want to go.

When you leave me in my classroom I want to give you a hug and a kiss.

When can we leave?

(play on repeat)

So, yeah, my big boy is finally back to school. And the two of us, we couldn’t be happier.

(Check him out, this day last year.)

He is too cute Erin, and looks so much older! Happy first day of school to you both!

It seems like yesterday Ephraim was just a bitty baby… These munchkins of yours just get more and more beautiful. Love watching their personalities grow too!

What a sweetheart! My little boy will be taking his first pre-pre-school class this year. It’s hard to believe that he is that big already! The second (and last) child feels like such a baby!

What a face! Hard to believe those long, skinny legs belong to that round-faced baby in last year’s photo!

He looks so cute – makes me miss him like crazy.

So, so jealous you are rid of your kids…

WOWZA how much your kiddos have grown in a year!! Hope you are holding up ok….I had a hard time when my last little one was gone from me (even if it was just preschool!!!) NOW she is getting ready to start first grade *gulp* and it will be my first year in 13 where I am all by myself during the school day *sigh* Hugs to you girlie!!

He is so handsome. And I love little blonds in orange. What a great color on him. Boy do they change so quickly. I miss my 9 year old being that little. You blink…
