Tears

Tears seems to be the theme of the last couple of weeks. I had lots of tears as I said good-bye in the morning to Brenna and Brody on their first day of school. Steve had the luxury of taking them on their first day. I think I only cried half way to work. Then there were tears from Brenna this past Tuesday when she had to ride the big bus to school. I had to leave for work before the bus came, but when Steve called to tell me Brenna cried when she got on the bus, more tears from me. It's probably a good thing that I was not there to put her on the bus because she holds it a little more together for Steve. It might help that he usually doesn't start to cry too. :) By day three on the bus, things were getting better so there is hope!

This was on orientation evening.


This was the first day of school. Steve brought them that day. No tears from either one!

So proud of my 4Kers!! Steve was instructed to take a picture and he did exactly as he was told. He took ONE picture! :)

I am so thankful they have each other because I really do not think I could send just one little 4-year old on that big bus. They both commented that the bus driver drives too fast. :)

Anyway, 4K is a hit! Both Brenna and Brody had great first days and their second week went well also! They are also adjusting to a new daycare and seem to enjoy it. Our Fridays are extra special because B and B get to spend the day at Carrie's! It's a treat for me to have them back in the van for the ride to Eau Claire too. They got to meet the baby who Carrie is taking care of this past Friday.

We went to Cooper's dog school graduation. Our naughty boy got 2nd place! Now if only he could listen that well at home!

Steve and his friend, Tim, also finally sold the cabin in Winter but in turn became the proud owners of a huge camper that sits in the field by our house until it sells. We decided to have a "camping like" weekend in our yard over Labor Day. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows and sleeping in the camper. Abbi stayed one night and Aunt Jessie, Uncle Jimmy, Nana, and Papa joined us one night for s'mores. Brody had intentions of sleeping in the camper but always ended up wanting to head to the house to sleep...he loves his own house.




Have a great week!
