Kindergarten and 8th grade

Aiden started Kindergarten this year and Shaelyn is in her last year of Middle School!  Where does the time go?  Aiden was so excited and talked about this day for a very long time.  Shaelyn, on the other hand, was not so excited and pretty much dreading having to return from her summer break.  The "Mommy Taxi" will be taking both kiddos to school before going to work each day.  I had to adjust my hours to accomodate this change.  I am so thankful for an understanding employer!  Rob or I will pick the kids up after school each day and Shaelyn will watch Aiden after school until one of us gets home from work.  We are hoping things run smoothly for us once we get into the routine. 

Aiden's first day of Kindergarten went smoothly. He is very independent and wouldn't have needed me to walk him in but I insisted (to take pictures). He was nothing but smiles and mommy FAKED a smile until I was out of his sight. How is it possible that the baby boy that was placed in my arms not so long ago, is now in Kindergarten and my baby girl is an 8th grader? *Sigh*
