1st Day of School

So I'm trying to catch up on some of the events going on in the Allred home. School started 4 days ago and I can't tell you how grateful I am that summer is FINALLY over and the kids are back in school. Well summer isn't actually over but that the kids are in school. This has been a really tough summer for me! But I can actually feel my sanity coming back to me even after only a few days. I love school!

I took this picture of the kids walking down the driveway and off to school. You can see the cars parking along the street to walk their kids to school too. I love. love. love that we are so close to the school!
There has to be a together shot right?! Avery has grown up so much and I can't believe she's in 3rd grade! Jake keeps right up with her and he amazes me. I can hardly believe he's in 1st!

I think he was a little nervous in this picture! I still love it though! My boy's growing up but still attached. When I kissed him goodbye today he said, "Aww Mom! Do you have to kiss me in front of the carpool drop off!" All I could do is smile. He loves it deep down but has to keep up the tough guy image.

Jake did a great job taking this picture! What can I say about my Avery? She already made a new friend, Paige, on this day; I knew she would. I love this girl so much and she will never stop wanting the hugs and kisses! She's my modest, shy, girly girl and I love her to pieces!
