Goodbye Summer

Believe it or not, summer is over for our family. Three of our four kids started school this morning bright and early. Courtney is starting 8th grade. Seriously? When did that all happen? She looked so cute this morning. I will miss her, she is like having another adult around. Jackson started fifth grade, his last year in elementary school and Bowen started first grade, his first year of full day school. I have to admit my heart sank as I walked out of the school with just Coop in tow. I had to swallow hard to keep from making a scene. Coop looked up at me with a worried look on his face and said "Well I guess it's just me and you mom." He sounded disappointed. Never fear I have had each of my kids home alone with me for a couple of years while the others were in school and I love it. I feel like I have been able to spend a lot of quality time with each individual child and really developed our relationship. We will have fun, Cooper and I. Here are a few pictures of our first day of school.
