Another Big First

It looks like summer is officially over, although no one told the weather. 100 degrees for the first day of school, Boo!  Andi was so excited for school this morning that when I opened her door she jumped out of bed, literally, flew out and across the room. We met her teacher on Friday and checked out the campus so she would be comfortable this morning and it worked. She didn't even want me to get out of the car, but I overrode her independence for the first day so I could get a picture of her in front of her classroom. I can't believe I have a second grader! I'm pretty sure I was the only one worried and anxious about today. I know most people let their kids go two years ago, but this is a big deal.

Sammy only cried for a minute on the way home and then I distracted him with treats and cartoons. He keeps asking me where Andi is though, and likes my answer less and less every time I give it. He seems to be trying to prove to me that he's big enough to go to school by doing things like picking Peter up out of the bassinet for me all by himself. I only had a small heart attack and was very proud that I did not scream. I have been trying to convince him all morning not to do that ever again, but he keeps arguing with me about it. I might have to lock Sammy out of Peters room.
I have not been very good at taking pictures of Peter. We took so many of Andi, but I'm so busy with the three that the camera is never convenient. We did take this one of Peter in his "church shirt" that Aunt Tenille made. I know the bow tie is covering his mouth, but that's what I like about it ;)

Thad and the kids have been swimming alot to keep cool. They all love the diving board, and I love the action shots of them jumping. Sammy's poses are the best and Andi can hardly wait for him to hit the water before she's on the board.

Now to keep Sammy entertained till Andi get's home.
