The first thing they did when we got there is separate the kids and adults. I told Hallie she needed to go with the teachers and she looked at me with that scared face and said "No, I want to come with you." I told her that this is how kindergarten would be and she needed to be brave so she turned and followed the teacher and never looked back.It broke my heart. What happened to needing me and wanting me to be with her for every second of her life. I really don't think this is fair. Little kids should never grow up and not need there moms. Next she is going to be telling me that she has a crush on a boy
and wants to wear my make-up. On the other hand, this is really fun too. I love watching her get confidence on her own. Love watching her get excited about school lunch, about checking out books from the library, and about riding that big yellow bus.We have also been having awesome weather. So we got out the bikes and went on this cool bike trail that goes by all the elementary schools. The girls did great and Barry loved being outside. I really think he is more happy outside than inside. This will be great for this summer! Annie loved riding her bike until we went down hill and she got going to fast. Then she rode in the stroller while I balanced the bike on the back of the stroller. Hallie was in heaven out riding but I think it is almost time to get her a new bike. Her knees almost hit the handle bars and her tires are so bent from the move that she almost tips every time. It is quite funny to watch.
This is Barry showing off his new talent of sitting up. He does really good at it but we have to be right by him cause he loves to fall over. He is such a sweet baby and we love having him with us. Oh, and we took Hallie to the Ears, Nose, and Throat Doctor and she is going to have tubes put in on May 21st. She is excited to be back to "normal"

aww that makes me want to cry, too, just thinking of max going to school. i still haven't decided if i'll send him to preschool ... it's a tough choice!
your kids are all so cute. love your photos. man, i need a better camera!
I am so excited she is growing up. Megan is already starting to try to wear makeup. All of her friends have phones. they grow up way to fast.
I completely get what you are saying about the kids growing up and becoming more independent. I am having a hard time with that same thought and I can't seem to get over it. Cole will be riding the bus to kindergarten and I am already trying to prepare myself for that first time. I say I am done having more kids after this one but when I think about how fast they grow up I can't 100% say I am done. These times are so amazing and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
wow! I can't believe that Hallie is really going to be starting kindergarten! Time really flies. Weird to think that I will be there someday too. Oh! and that picture of Bary is sooo adorable! It just makes me want to squeeze him.
it's so crazy how fast they grow up! Hallie is so so cute. I
That makes me so sad, it makes me think of Katrina and her telling me "you can go now mom, really you can go" At least you know she is mature enough to be going if she can walk away. Wouldn't it be harder if they were crying and we had to leave them anyway? I saw that too the year Katrina started, so I was grateful she was so excited.
I cant believe that Barry is sitting up all ready... your supposed to keep him little until I can see him :) Geez LOL
Annie is a cutie and I can just see her refusing to ride her bike... that would have been funny to see you pushing the stroller and trying to carry the bike.
I didn't know Hallie was having troubles with her ears. I can't believe she has almost outgrown her bike.
Cute pictures - I love to see Barry's little personality. He's such a good mix between you two. I miss you guys! We made your spaghetti sauce the other night and it wasn't the same without you.
Good luck on letting Hallie go - I'm already scared of that part, but mostly because I have been reading about how important it is to encourage the separation. How could I possibly encourage that!?! Lame. Good luck.
I love the picture you took of annie... great angle! I cant believe how fast all of these kids are growing up.... and whats worse, we get older with them :(
I don't even want to think about having to do the whole kindergarten thing. At least we have one more year.
I'm sure Hallie's going to love it. I have a hard time at the beginning of the year every year. I thought it would get easier this year. It's hard to watch them grow in some ways. But so fun too!
