Sophie and Ella are officially First Graders.
oh my.
where has the time gone?
I swear just yesterday they were my sweet little 2-year olds?
and now they are my sweet and sassy First Graders.
say it ain't so
and of course miss abbie had to partake in the pampering.
Here they are in their classroom. I don't think there will be many more years in which they (they being Sophie and Ella as well as the school) will allow me to photograph the girls every move on their first day of school...is mommy a little over the top, perhaps.
Of course the first day of school took a strange turn when all the schools in the area dismissed early because of terrible flooding that was happening in our area as a result of a hurricane. We ended up having the rest of the week off due to the devasting floods.
We tried to make the most of the rain by playing in our flooded yard while daddy kept pumping 4 feet of water out of our basement.
and the next day we played some more.
We were definitely spared from the devestation that others in our community had to face. The worst part is these poor people had to deal with this 5 years ago when the first "100 year flood" hit our village. We never dreamed it would happen again several years later.
It was awesome to see our community come together and help all those families in need...we are so blessed to live in a village made up of so many loving and selfless people. We are blessed.

Abbie always has to crash her sissies pictures. but i don't mind because she is just so cute.
