OK, OK, OK...I know this is basically a re-hash of the Pre-K video, just with up-to-date video and pictures, but the music is just too perfect NOT to use again! In fact, I think I may start using the same music every year for the beginning of school. This is mostly because I'm lazy, but also because - once again - the music is just too perfect!
That said, Holly and I officially have a kindergartener in the house! Chris started his first day at Chestatee Elementary this morning at 7:50. What? You think THAT'S early?!? HA! How about THIS?!? His school bus gets to the stop at about 6:45! YOWZA! We woke up at 6:00 this morning to have a little bit of breakfast, then cruised on up to the bus stop. We were lucky this morning to have Annie with us, which made the day all the more special. We've been seeing Annie and Hope off to school for 14 years now, and having her here was a really cool continuation of that tradition since we weren't able to see Hope off to her first day of her senior year (!!).
All in all, it went pretty smoothly. Matthew even woke up (mostly) for the trip to the bus stop - even if he DID cling to me most of the way there and back. :-) The bus finally showed at about 6:55, and the kids climbed aboard with a minimum of fuss. There was some slight jostling about for seats, etc., and then the bus was on its way.
The funny thing? No one cried... I guess we've just been steeling ourselves to the moment for so long that we were excited rather than emotional. Still, it's a pretty cool thing to know that Holly and I have raised such an incredible kid, and that he's off to school on the next big journey of his life. We can't wait for The Moo to start Pre-K next fall...WOW! We're getting OLD! :-)

You think 6:45 is early now - wait until winter when it's pitch dark and cold! Love, Sharon
