Well as many of you know from experience, the school bell rang today. Morgan started third grade and was very excited about it. As Rusty, Reagan, and I walked down the hall after dropping her off in her classroom my overwhelming thought was " In the year 2000 (the year Morgan was born) I never pictured this happening" We walked in the room, the teacher checked her name off a list and Morgan sat in a seat, and we left. That was that. After spending 8 years protecting her from everything, only leaving her with her grandmothers, hand picking which kids she can go and play with... we were left with dropping her off with a mere stranger. The best part of that is we had no choice in the matter. Now before you all have some sort of intervention for me and think I am going crazy, understand that I know this is normal and is a natural progression in childhood, but as a parent you really never see it coming. Some part of me will always, in my mind's eye, see Morgan as a little baby, she is not though. I am so proud of the little lady she is growing into and I can't wait to see what the future holds for her, but she is still my baby.
So here I sit at this computer, home alone with Reagan and Zsa Zsa, wondering where time has gone, and feeling so lucky to have been a part of all of that time. I will miss Morgan today, but I know that she is so happy and excited, and is not missing us. She looked precious today, so to close I have included a couple of pictures from this morning, at home obviously, because she may die of embarrassment if I were to take a picture of her at school! For all of you kiddos and parents who had your first day of school today, I wish you a fun and succesful school year...mostly fun though!!!!

Hey, at least you got to go. I didn't get to go up to the school on the first day. Boo hoo for me. Cute pictures!
I can't believe they're in 3rd either. It feels so old! Middle school, Jr. High, High School...before we know it. I hope her day was great!
i was wondering what that "t" was about? thought maybe it was in honor of thomas- he he
and i thought you had the apple background...oops. i'll change mine :)
by the way, the girls look soooo adorable! but it is a little sad to see them all grown up.
I am feeling your pain. Brynna started Kindergarden and OMG I can't believe it. I cried again this morning and Brian took her, but as I was driving and it was 7:40 and my baby was sitting in classroom full of strangers that I hope and pray love and take good care of her while I have left her in their hands. I'll buy you a drink this weekend.
