connor's first day pics.

i finally loaded up all the pics from the big camera. we're limited on space on the computer {please update soon imac, i've tried to be patient} so i haven't uploaded for a while. but here's a few more we took of connor on his first day of school. 

the girls were almost as excited as he was!

first one in line {it helps to have the bus stop at your house}.

another first day of preschool.

mabel started her 2nd year of preschool a few weeks ago. she's super excited this year cause her cousin bella is in the class with her. doesn't get better than that!! she has the same incredible teachers as last year. we're so excited for her and all that she'll do and learn this year.

getting her new school shoes on.

all i can say is, what a pose.

elsie misses her buddy while she's gone.

mabel's first day was on 9-11 so she thought first day of school pics by the flag would be appropriate.

showing off their backpacks.

proud of her cute daddy.

mabel and bella at one of the centers.

school days.

we made it. the first day of school finally came. connor's been looking forward to it for a long time. mostly to wear his new school shoes, to eat lunch at school and to have more than one recess! 

it was so precious this morning. he was so excited, he went out 30 minutes early for the bus. too cute. i'm so excited for him and for all that he will experience this year. crazy how fast time has gone.

my sweet boy.

thankfully for her, it was an early day!
