The first day of school 2015

We came back from our trip and had a few weeks to get back into a schedule and get ready for normal life. The kids started school the last week in August. Mr. Wyatt started 2nd grade! (what?!) And little Miss Rea started Kindergarten! Rea's first day was hard on me. It's always so emotional when your babies take their first venture out of the nest. Thankfully I still have one at home with me! When Loyal starts, I might need professional help.

Wyatt has Mrs. Stone this year. She has been teaching for a long long time. In fact, I have friends here in town who had Mrs. Stone for 2nd grade when they were little. Man does she love the kids in her class. She even called me after the first day of school to make sure that Wyatt had enjoyed himself and that he wasn't overwhelmed. She does draw a hard line on behavior though. Mrs. Stone takes zero crap from these kids. Poor Wyatt has already had his share of time outs this year...but I'm glad for it. I'm so happy that he has a teacher who I feel like is not only teaching him, but really partnering with Josh and I as we raise him up.

Reagan has Mrs. Daniel (Wyatt also had her). We adore Mrs. Daniel. And thankfully she adores our kids. She remembered Rea and was so happy and eager to have her in class. The first few days were a little rough for Rea, she tends to be on the shy side. But just like her older brother, she has made so many friends and according to her teacher is a joy to be around. It really warms my heart when I drop Rea off in the mornings and a gaggle of little girls come running to give her hugs and are excited to see her. Reagan has such a sweet and gentle spirit...it is a joy to watch her blossom.

We'll see how the rest of the year progresses! So far so good...
