Back to School

This summer, I decided to redecorate my 1st grade classroom. For the past 4 years, it's had a farm theme. I loved it, but I was ready for a change too. Now the theme is "Woodsy." Here's a peek:

School started last Monday. It's been fun getting to know my new, cute class. I have so many smart & adorable kids. I can tell it will be a fun year!

That being said, I'm still so sad to leave my baby. It's been hard leaving Porter with someone else everyday. Brian's college graduation cannot come soon enough (still a couple years though). Oh, and that reminds me- Brian started school last Monday too! Here's the back-to-school shot I got of him at the front door. I love that he's got his backpack & ninja turtle shirt! He probably has a similar picture when he was going into the 2nd grade (minus the baby of course!).

Ignore Brian's red eyes. I'm on the mac, don't know how to fix it. And ignore Porter's blank, messy look- he just woke up!

This has been a rough transition for Brian too. With full-time school and part-time work, there are some days he doesn't even get to see Porter. But I think it's made us appreciate our time together as a family even more. It's busy around here, but life is still good!
