Just Around the Corner

School is just around the corner for these two. They had me snap a quick picture the other day before we headed out to the school BBQ and open house. And yes, it's just around the corner for us... at least it feels like it. However, I also think that they just might be the very last two kids on the planet to start this year. I could be exaggerating a little bit but Karleigh's first real day is the 11th and Rylan's is the 21st.

The plan, so far is for Karleigh just to get on the bus and go to school. I've always liked when parents have pics of the kiddos in their classroom but at the same time, I know it's rather disruptive and Karleigh said she just wants to ride the bus.
"I think I'll miss you less if I just get on the bus and get it over with."
Fair enough.
I suppose she should have a say in things. I do think it's kind of funny though. She's happily been to the school no less than 10 times already and didn't have a problem with pre-school but we'll see. I do think she'll be fine though. The "three amigos", Karleigh and her two friends from preschool, are each in a different class. Which I actually think is a good thing. She'll be forced, in a way, to make new and different friends which will be god for her. She'll see the other two at Daisy Scouts anyway.

Yesterday included finding school shoes for her crazy skinny feet. We did have some success and now she is set, set, SET for school to start. Next week she has a quick orientation to ask any questions and drop off her supplies... and then it's game on! I'm sure she's far more ready than I am :)

News from the new baby department: not much to tell. I've been feeling kind of ooky which should be reassuring. I did change my vitamin and that helped a bit. Also, I have another u/s on Friday morning. I'd appreciate any and all prayers for a healthy, growing baby and very little anxiety.
