Kindergarten

Ready or not, Hunt Elementary, here come the Youngs. Yesterday started a new era for our family - elementary school. The kids were very excited. We had the chance to go up to the school last Friday to see where their classrooms would be and meet their teachers. Each of them are in a seperate classroom. Abigail has Mrs. Allen, Caleb has Mr. Garbarini and Ethan has Mr. Gomez. It felt crazy setting alarm clocks to go off at 6:30 am to get them up, especially when it is still dark outside. In fact, when Ethan got up, he came downstairs half asleep and says to us "my alarm clock went off, but it is still night time." They all came around and we had a great time getting ready. On the first day, parents can go in and make sure their kids get to class ok, so we got to see them meet some of their new classmates. I am looking forward to getting to spend some time as a family in the mornings before having to leave for work now. I used to have to sneak out quietly so I wouldn't wake anybody up. Those days are over and now mornings are about helping get everyone ready for school.

I can not believe the Young family are not so little anymore. When we left you guys in TX, I had just been spending the night with you guys making sure you were able to get some sleep at night. That was such a sweet time for me to serve you guys and love on those MOST special babies! They of course are still so special and beautiful.
Well done, Youngs... just another 60 years or so! =)
