Grandma Penny come to walk with the kids.It's a tradition now.
It sure came fast and early this year. After a whirlwind family vacation to Northern California, we had one day prep for this monumentous day. This was the first time my children asked me if I would NOT walk them into the school. Sad moment for a mother. They asked me this morning while we were getting ready if I really needed to walk them to school. I said "Yes. I'm doing it because I love you and I want to support you." When we arrived at school, I couldn't go farther then the playground. I just experienced a time when I was forced to let go a little bit more of my children. No, it doesn't seem like such a big deal, but it kind of was.
Yesterday at BYU I had a moment of break down. I saw several women pregnant and was some what sad that I would never be going through that again. No, I don't feel like I need to have any more children. Now that I muse over this morning, I realized that my children are getting older and my life is slowly changing it's stage.
There are no photos of Beckham due to the fact that he was slow in getting dressed. There will be plenty of pictures taken of his first day of Kindergarten. Again, more heart palpatations. My babies are growing up!!!

Jaren. Holy cow. When did he grow up? He's so handsome. Looking at his matured face made me tear up a bit. What beautiful children. Another year of school! I am so excited for them. I know that when I am done having kids I too will most likely get emotional when I see pregnant women and accept that I will no longer have babies to nurture and succor. Babies are the sweetest.
Your kids are so cute. I love the first days of school when the kids are so excited and happy to go. I also walked my kids to school this morning. I am having a hard time now that my baby is going to be in school all day. Argh! It makes me feel like an old woman, but I am past the point of looking at pregnant women and wanting one. It just makes me tired to think about having another baby.
It doesn't get any easier to send them off the school. I still have a hard time sending Kristin and this is her 3 year away and I still cry as if it were the first. The others aren't so bad though you realize how fast they are growing up.
