Yay-Boo-Two

My social butterfly has flitted through her first week of kindergarten.  Her latest friend count is a solid 6 -- all 'cute' boys.

I don't remember counting my friends;  I believed we were all friends -- except for Matt Bogwater.  (I'll tell you a great school-bully story sometime.)  Were the dream catchers and bell-bottoms messing with my young mind?

Here we are early Monday, some of us in our pjs, some of us barely out of our pjs.  After hugs & smooches for Charlotte, Elijah and I inspected the inner-workings of the Rubiks cube while Isaac sat in on roll-call with his giant camera flashing away. 

And that Elijah up there. I can't believe how tall he is getting. Only a meager quarter-inch to go before he reaches my height. Wasn't he just born a few weeks ago?  My, my.  I'm feeling the tick-tock this week.

Your 'social butterfly' sure has her Mother's style and panache! I love your designs, your site is an inspiration to me ever since I began crafting and blogging have featured you on my site (annabelleserendipity.blogspot.com). Thanks for being you!

They do grow up too fast, don't they? My "baby" will be going to school for the first time next week. However, he is 18 years old! He has always been homeschooled and will start college next Friday. It's kind of hard on Mama, no matter what the age of your "baby."

Oh, thanks so much for sharing this special time with us! Your son is a giant like mine! Mine is fast approaching on me too. It is a bit disconcerting. Happy fall!

we just did kindergarten for our daughter last week. Eeps, each day she comes home saying it was "great". Hope Charlotte is loving it too!

[Kathryn]

Oh my! Charlotte is such a cutie and Elijah is growing fast (cute too, but don't want to embarrass a pre-teen boy or is he a teen now). I just dropped my oldest off at the college dorms (close by thankfully) and am feeling all too sad that this parenting gig goes by way too fast! I still have several at home to love on though!
Good luck to Charlotte, I'm sure she is going to do great especially with 6 friends and counting!

I love how you've documented her first walk to kindergarten! So amazing! She's going to look back someday and be so thankful her parents had mad photog skills ;)

[naomig]

:-) So sad and sweet. My clock has been ticking especially loud lately. I'm going to have to make sure to photog our first day of school so well too. What treasured memories they will remind her of someday!

Ah yes, bittersweet. Heart warming and heart wrenching at the same time. Such is motherhood.

aww, very sweet :)

ps, just wanted to let you know that I used a photo of your craft room on my blogpost today. I LOVE it and hope to have a beautiful space like it one day!! :) http://antikamoda.blogspot.com/2010/08/weekend-reflection.html

Looks like you both survived her first week of school - that's the hardest part! She appears to have plenty of self-confidence! I remember when my son became taller than me, although in my case, there are mushrooms that are taller, still....and now he's heading off to grad school. Holy cow!

It was fun visiting your blog this morning. My two oldest grandsons started back to school on Monday - 5th and 2nd grades! Oh how time soars by!

My oldest son has now passed me up in height and his 2 year younger brother is on his way quickly. I think to myself daily wait when did all this happen. How did I get here? cue- Talking Heads song...
