Two firsts (make that three) today!!

Today was the first day of school and we had two firsts! A kindergartner and a middle schooler! Check them out! We practiced getting up early all last week, just to make sure they were ready. At 6:30 am this morning, I went into Gabbrielle's room and whispered, "today is the first day of school", at which she leaped out of bed and went running downstairs (no worries!) Bethany had herself up without prompting and ready in 20 minutes. We all took Gabbrielle to school and walked her in. A tiny bit of sadness at the first farewell, but she was definitely excited. We then took Bethany to school and walked her to the front door - too big to actually walk in apparently :-( Chloe loved going along for the ride. She gets to enjoy having Daddy all to herself today!

Our third "first" - John and I started the P90X today! For our sake (and yours) we are going to spare ya'll the "before" photos and we'll look forward to posting the "after" photos. Day one (chest and back) was tough to say the least. In fact, I'm having a hard time typing this because it hurts to lift my arms up :-)



Our big kindergartner! (literally, she was a head and a half taller than all the other kids in her class)


Our grown up middle schooler! (wow, time really does fly)

  1. How exciting for you guys! Lexi's first day of kindergarten I cried. Her first day of 1st grade I pushed her out the door!!

    I have heard good things about the P90X thing. I don't know much about it but it sounds tough. Good luck!!
