1st day of School

Tanner on his 1st day of 4th grade!

What a little stud!

Troy on his 1st day of 1st grade!

My little man!

Carter on his 1st day of Kindergarten.

My little cutie!

Carter's teacher gave us this poem:

(try reading it without crying like I did)

The First Day

I gave you a little wink and smile

As you entered my room today.

For I know how hard it is to leave

and know your child must stay.

You've been with them for five years now

and have been their loving guide.

But now, alas, the time has come

to leave them at my side.

Just know that as you drive away

and tears down your cheek may flow,

I'll love them as I do my own

and help them learn and grow.

For as a parent, I too know

how quickly the years pass.

It seems just yesterday that I

took my first child to class.

So please put your mind at ease

and cry those tears no more.

For I will love them and take them in

when you leave them at my door.
