Scott

Scott was at work today and got some metal in his eye. He is on his way to the med center to have it looked at. If you read this around 9 pm, please pray that this is no big deal and that the med center will be able to flush it out. Thanks!

1st Day slide shows

Yesterday I made slide shows showing both the kids together. I deleted those and then made them their own scrapbook to show. Enjoy! The first one is Megan's followed by Cody's.

1st Bus Ride

Cody is able to ride the bus because he's in Kindergarten. Once he's in 1st they think he's old enough to walk home by himself! Scott rode his bike up and was able to get pictures of Cody getting on the bus then came home in time for pictures of him getting off the bus! He had soo much fun. When he got home, we had a little present waiting. I think Scott enjoyed the car more because Cody was organizing the pencils by animal. What have I done?!

1st Day of School! :(

There were many emotions going through our house this morning! I was sad and doing my best to stay busy so I didn't have to think about my baby going to school. Cody was bouncing off the walls with excitement for his first day. Megan was excited but started her morning by saying she got up on the wrong side of the bed. I don't know if she truly knows what that means or not! She was also very nervous. Megan doesn't like change(like her Dad!) so meeting new friends and a new teacher is hard for her!

Anyway, they are now both there and happy! I had to make myself leave from Cody's room before I either cried or stayed there all day! On the way to school I don't think he stopped talking for more than 30 seconds at a time. Cody is riding the bus at noon and it makes me very nervous but Scott is going to ride his bike up and take pictures of him getting on and then come back in time for Cody getting off! It's hard to believe the day is here that I won't have kids with me everyday all day.

Below are pictures of our morning. They show the kids backpack- Cody's Firetruck(thanks Alice!) and Megan's shiny Hannah Montana! Enjoy!!

Last Day of Summer

After reading Jessica Troeger's post about not wanting the kids to go back to school, it's nice to know I'm not the only one! I have been dreading tomorrow for a year now. I knew last year when Cody started preschool that it was the beginning of the end. No more Cody home with me all day. I have had such a great summer with the kids that I'd love to just keep them home. The last few weeks haven't been as smooth but I don't want my last baby to go to school. I know you're all thinking I'm crazy but like Jess, I'm starting to cry thinking about it! Thank goodness Scott is taking all day off tomorrow so I'll have some emotional support! More likely he'll look at me like I'm nuts but one can dream!

The last week before school starting has been filled with lots of fun things to do. Today we are laying low and going to bed early so the kids are well rested for tomorrow! On Saturday, we went boating with Scott's parents and Dave, Allison, and Betsy. It was a lot of fun. We went from Holland to Saugatuck on the boat. When we got there, we walked up over 200 steps to get to Mt. Baldy! I am still sore. I don't think it was the walk up that did it but the walk down because I went to fast on them. I can walk up the steps at home it's just going down that kills me!

On Sunday we went to a friends house for a cookout. It was a lot of fun for all of us. The kids played with their friends, I caught up with some people I don't see much and Scott played Volleyball and Football with the guys!

I hope you all have a nice relaxing Labor Day! I'll post tomorrow of the kids first day!
