This was an epic start of the school year for our family. David went to middle school...which brings so many thoughts to me like...where did the time go...how did he grow up so fast...will he be okay in middle school...etc. But he did great, and I promise I only cried a little when the kids left, although the house was way too quiet! We started off the day with our tradition of giving the kids schultuttes a German tradition. They are filled with candy and school supplies. The kids love it and kept asking when they would get them. This year they got them the morning of the first day. Bella who can't remember the name and calls them tooters. The kids were all prepped for school, bags packed, fathers blessings given so the morning went very smoothly for us.

Ben wanted to go to school so badly, he was all ready. The minute the bus doors closed and he realized he wasn't getting on he burst into tears. He misses Bella so much when she is gone all day!
