Yesterday Sam started 2nd grade...how can it be?! He looks so grown up. Mama doesn't like that he won't stop growing up. He even lost another tooth the night before.
Here he is in my classroom hanging out before school started. Not the least bit nervous, just takin' it in stride like he does with everything else. I asked him at breakfast, "So Sam are you nervous?" His response, "No, why? Am I suppose to be?" :)
It was also my first day of school. I'm still teaching part-time, but I changed my hours this year from 11:00-2:45. So on a normal day I will drop Sam off at the bus stop around 8:00, then head back home for snuggle time with Carter. Head to school around 10:30 and be done by 2:45. Get my lesson plans done, etc. for the next day and then when Sam is done with school at 3:45, we can head out right away. Yesterday was first day with the new schedule and I LOVE it!!
Carter wanted his picture taken too. He looks so tiny, but next year he starts preschool. Supposedly. I think I may boycott it and keep him all to myself!
After dropping Sam off at school, Brian and I headed to H-town for our last preconstruction meeting and finalized all our decisions. At the end of the meeting, the builder took us out to our lot and we walked the property one more time and he took this pic of our little family, minus Sam.
In the last week, we ended up changing out lot. Long story short, we are now on the corner of a cul-de-sac and I am so much happier with the lot. Like I'm giddy every time I think about it! I love the idea of my boys being able to ride bikes and scooters and shoot hoops out in the street without worrying about safety issues. It's a really pretty lot with a nice tree lined backdrop. There are several kids in the neighborhood too and I just feel like it's where we're meant to be. I love how God always works things out for our good! Feeling so blessed!
