123...and just like that summer is over

August 8th the littlest started school. Pre-K. Oh my!

My baby. My last.I had to swallow a few tears.

I have been in and out of this amazing preschool for 14 years.

Look at my sweet girl. Looking so darn big!

 The end of the first day. She did GREAT!!!!

August 11th, the next two started the school year.

 Jaida is in 2nd grade

Xin is in 3rd grade.

And then August 12th, the last 2 began.

 Sam headed to 7th grade and to school for the first time in 5 years. I enjoyed homeschooling him for those years. What a gift! But he was ready to go back to school and I am so excited for him!!!

  Julia is an 11th grader! A junior. It doesn't seem possible?????

 So glad these two will be attending the same school this year.

 And then......August 13th, ALL 5 WENT OFF TO SCHOOL!!!!!

I have not had a few hours to myself during the school day for 8 years!!!!

I was just a tad giddy about this.

I will have 12 hours a week without my favorite munchkins underfoot.

Can I just say that 4 hours that first day FLEW by!!!

Here's to hoping  the 2014-15 school year is filled with many wonderful things!

So far.....all are happy!!!

Including me!
