First Day of School

We all couldn't believe how fast the summer flew by. Even the kids weren't quite ready for school to start, but it was time. We all had a super summer. The kids played so well together and never complained about being bored or not having friends to play with. Preston and Sylvia are as different as can be, so they complement each other well. Sylvia has her exciting games and imagination that she lures Preston into playing, while he brings her back down to earth. Ethan is just happy to tag along and be a big kid with them. Briana would venture out for a short time with them, then come back ready to be my sidekick for the majority of the day. Now off to school go Preston, in 3rd grade and Sylvia, excited to finally start Kindergarten. This year she was ready and not afraid to leave me at all. What a change from last year! Ethan was sad that the big kids had to leave and he was stuck with a "baby"for a playmate for half the day.

This is how Briana and Ethan decided to spend their morning the first day the older kids were at school. They really were happy, just being silly for the camera with mad faces. Ethan had tied up Briana's feet and stacked pillows and blankets on her, wither her making hardly a peep. She is so quiet when he does this sort of thing, I always have to be close by to make sure she doesn't suffocate under all that fun!
