First Days

I'm now down to TWO.  

The last time I had only two children in the public school system was 14 years ago.  Fourteen!  And it's been 19 years since I've had no children in elementary school.  I'm not going to lie and say it went by fast... looking back I can clearly see the marathon it's been.  

Mar's first day was yesterday.

All the links were gone from her countdown chain, and she couldn't wait to get out the door.

(Shi did her fancy fingernails.)

Mar liked it so much, she told me this morning that she was sad when the school day was over yesterday.
We'll see how long that lasts ;-)

Shi's first day of school was today.
She started Seminary today, too, a first around here.  In the past, Seminary has started the second week of school.  Parents are invited the first day, so Bill did the honors so I could get Mar to school on time.  My battery was low in the camera, and it was a tad dark outside, so my pics didn't turn out as well as I would have liked.

(Shi got her license just in the nick of time.  Hallelujah.)

Lex will be hanging out with me until she leaves for school at BYU-I in January.  Hopefully she can get a few more hours at work.  Otherwise, I'll have me a little house cleaning buddy.

Oh yeah.
