End of Summer Snapshots, Day 50: First Day of School

The day has arrived.
The first day of school.
 Audrey is in 5th grade; Carter is in 2nd grade; Chloe is in Kindergarten.
 I don't think a kid could have been more proud of being able to go to school.
Finally, she can be like all the other kids on the street!
 Audrey & Emma
 Chloe and Rebecca
 Off to the bus stop.
This is the first time I shed a tear today.
Her backpack is as big as she is!
How can someone so small being going to school already?
 All the neighborhood kids waiting for the bus.
 Backpack shot. :)
Chloe had her own kindergarten bus to ride, so she was sent off and waved to by the approximately 30 people standing around at the bus stop this morning!  Not a bad way to go. :)
I have to admit, I cried the whole walk home.
And I was a little nervous for her all day.
'All day' is a long time to be at school and away from your mama.
But she came off the bus SO happy and SO proud of herself.
She loved her teacher.
She loved eating lunch there.
She loved that they read Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten.
It was probably because of all the praying that Katie & I did for our kids today. :)
Thank you, God, for a great first day for Chloe and for Audrey & Carter as well!
