School

 After an endless summer jam packed with swim lessons and beach days, we were all ready to trade our buckets and shovels for pencils and paint. I always loved the new beginning of a school year... new classes, new teachers, new friends, a blank slate and a new challenge.  Owen loves school too. Although he was so ready to start school, and seemed equally excited about his new school and meeting new friends, I could tell he was sizing things up the first few days, noticing the differences, taking everything in.  Im so proud of my boy... he did a great job adjusting.  Your mama could learn a few things from you Owen.

I made the morning special, with a gift bag of school treats and his favorite home made muffins.

Finding our room and anxiously waiting to see what's inside. I hope you never lose your easily excited spirit.  Its contagious to me, it helps me see life through fresh lenses and brings me such joy.

 Peyton loves the playground as much as her brother.

You win us all over Owen, with your enthusiasm, your curiosity, and your love for people.

Here is Owen with one of his new teachers, they are so loving!

  

Owen does a great job being his own kid... Ive noticed he is a leader in that way.  He doesnt go along with what everyone else is doing, he is comfortable standing on his own 2 feet.  I pray he keeps this quality, for the long road ahead of trudging his own path as he grows.

We are so excited to be sharing a class with one of Owen's friends since birth, Cameron, and she is precious.  We love building this memory together.
