First day of school

It's the first day of school and I'm feeling a little emotional about it. I can't figure out exactly why. I think it's just because they are growing so fast. 1st and 4th grade sounds so big to me. I was just happy with kinder and 3rd grade (and they were, too). Kinley's teacher, Mrs. del Castillo, has only been at the school for a year and Tyler's teacher, Miss Kypke, is brand new... like yesterday, so I don't know anything about either of them. I have heard great things and they both welcomed the kids with big smiles and hugs this morning, so that was good. Kinley's best friends from her kinder class (Betty, Abby, Avery, Kenzie and Brooke) moved with her to Mrs. del Castillo's class and Tyler has two of his best friends (Jacob and Levi) with him. They are both pretty excited and had a great day, so I should be as well!

Hurricane Harvey

Crazy weekend here. A Cat 4 hurricane hit the coast, where we were just having so much fun. We were supposed to start school today, but they cancelled due to the strong winds and possible flooding. It didn't get that bad at our house and Kinley ventured out in it.

















It's a lazy no-school day now.
