Wow things sure get started early here in Texas. I wake the boys up at 5:40am and have them at the bus stop for pick up at 6:35am. School starts at 7:40am. I could drive them to school but with a new baby and having the bus stop literally at my front door and the fact that the bus ride is Brandon's favorite part of school the decision was too easy.
Here are the boys waiting for the bus. Yes it is still dark outside when they get on the bus. It is also 85-90 degrees with humidity at 6:30am. Yeah love the Texas weather! Not!
I have to admit I got cried a little when the boys drove away. I can't believe my Jake is in 5th grade. He grew so fast. Jake really likes the new school and has already made new friends. Brandon is, was my baby and now he rides a bus to school and is in kindergarten. He seems to little to go to school. He goes to school all day long. It is weird not having him around. He really likes school and loves to tell me everything he did at school. He has done so well with all the changes in our family. The move to Texas, new baby and school starting. He is a little trooper.
Emma started 7th grade this year. What??? She turned 12 this summer and blossomed into a young lady. She tested for the gifted and talented classes at her school and passed. So she gets to take a language class this year. She chose Spanish. She seems very happy with her schedule and new school. She also rides the bus but doesn't leave until 7:20am so we have a little time to ourselves in the morning. She usually uses any extra time to hold Natalie.
