Today is the first day of school. Today marks a new "milestone" in my parenting career. Today is the day that during my modest one day a week off, I do not have any children at home for six and a half hours. *sigh* I have mixed feeling about this. On one hand I am sad that my babies are growing so quickly, but on the other hand I am bursting with pride for those two little blessings. Drop off went uneventfully and at one point, Jeff had to demand a hug from Lucy. She was so happy sitting in her seat and meeting her friends. Carlie leaped right into her seat, only to find out her BFF had the flu and was missing the first day of school. If that is the low point of her day, we are so set! Below are pictures....tears form when I look at these pictures. Not necessarily tears of sadness, but tears of happiness and pride.

I did NOT make them do this...their idea! I promise!!
On a side note...Jeff took off the day to spend with me. I think he knew it would be a hard day for me. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, played 9 holes of golf and then had lunch at BW's. I told him I think he should start taking Wednesday's off too...we could just hang out together, with no kids!!
