And then there were two

Me and my littles on the first day of school after dropping off the "big kids". 

 Our three older kids started back at school today. Everyone was very excited and more than ready to head back.
Taylor's first day of 5th grade 

Chases first day of 2nd grade

Talan's first day of ALL DAY kindergarten

 Taylor and Chase both took off for their classes once we got to the school and neither of them looked back. I did, however manage to sneak a couple pics of them when they weren't looking. I have a really hard time letting go. Such a bitter sweet thing. Hate to see my babies grow up and yet at the same time, I'm excited for them to experience new things and learn and grow and become all that they have the potential to be. Just wish that second part didn't have to happen so fast. 

Chase lined up with a couple of his buddies 

If you look closely you can see Taylor through her door, with her head turned here. she has no idea I took this picture and would be totally embarrassed if she knew I was peaking in her classroom door.

Talan was so excited for his first day he could hardly contain himself. He was up at 6am dressed with his back pack on when I got home from working out. He didn't hesitate at all and lined up with his class with no probing or anything and once he got in the classroom he started pulling things out of his back pack and was ready to go. Like it was no big deal at all. Not much intimidates Talan. I love that about him. Everyone had a great day. I know it's going to be a great year!

Heading in 

At his desk ready to start his big day! 

I'm going to miss these 3 like crazy, but I am also looking forward to spending some good one on one time with Easton and Avery, because I know all too soon they will be heading off like their older brothers and sister, for school too. 

All 5 kids on their second day of school.
