First Day of School 2012

Yes we had another first day of school in our family.  I cried most of the morning.  Not because I didn't want to go back to work but because my kids are growing up way to fast!!!  Mark was giving each of the girls a fathers blessing and it hit me that Jordan was not there.  Jordan is always there on the first day of school.  He is the one who started going to school all those years ago.  He was my first child to HAVE a first day of school. And now he wasn't here.  Oh how I miss that boy!!!!  I realized at that moment that this was Whitney's LAST first day of school.  She is such an amazing person.  I know she will have a great year.  I just felt sad to think it was here LAST first day of school.  :(  Courtney entered the 8th grade.  She will be in HS next year.  Just exactly where has the time gone?!?!?  Madee was very sad all morning.  She was starting her first year at our neighborhood school, Fiddlers Elementary.  She was so nervous and sad to think she would not see all her friends from North Elementary.  And you know when your kids are sad you are 10 times sadder than they are.  So Geez!!  It was an emotional morning. 


Of course Elder Comstock was not with us but I wanted a picture of him on this post.  :)

These pictures will break your heart.
I should have taken some after school.
She was smiling then.  :)

UPDATE... WE all had a GREAT day!!!
Whitney had fun seeing all her friends and having 3 classes with her dad. She finished the day winning a soccer game.
Courtney loves the 8th grade and thinks this will be her best year yet!
Madee had a great day and said everyone at her new school is so nice and she loves her teacher!
Mark and I both have a bunch of great students.  Mark got to win a soccer game (against the reining 2A state champs)  I just LOVE first graders!!  They are so excited for school and so much fun to spend the day with.  :)
