Today was the first day of school!!! Wow we have a 1st grader, 4th grader and a 7th grader! I couldn't miss this special day for Jac and Thomas! I hurried home to suprise them and when Thomas walked in the door he did not look so good. He said he had a headache the whole day. I took his temp and it was 101.4! I felt so bad for him! I took him to the doctor and got him some medication for strep. Hopefully he will be able to go back to school on Wednesday. Even with strep throat he had a good first day. What a tough kid!Jacqueline had her first day in Junior high!!! I feel very old. She and her friends were very pleased that it was "not as bad as they thought it would be."
It was so fun to be home with them today. I really miss having them around all the time. I miss Thomas' singing and excitement for life; and I miss Jacquelines teasing me for having shorter legs then she does, and her crazy outbursts!
As we sat down to dinner it felt so good to be together for a moment. I am glad I was able to keep the tradition of being there on the first day of school with hot cookies waiting just for them!

Jackie and Thomas how on earth did you grow up so fast!! Sheesh! I feel sooo old! It seems like yesterday that we were having shirley temple parties!
Happy First day of school!
Of course you would find a way to be there for your kids. You are an awesome Mom.
I'm sorry Thomas is sick! I'm glad we stayed away so I don't worry it came from us!
Happy 1st week of school!
My kids are lucky to get to go to school with the Heaps kids! Kenz missed Jack on Friday and was glad to have her on Monday to help with her locker. :) Mason said he hung out with Thomas at lunch. Glad to see they can find each other even if they're not in the same class. Get feeling better Thomas boy. You're needed for 2nd recess...
what a fun tradition. Your "short legs" comment made me laguh. One day very soon my boys will be taller than me!
