it is official, i no longer have a "baby." my heart is completely broken.
max began his third grade year of school a couple of weeks ago and my no longer "baby", madden, started kindergarten last week. i always thought it wouldn't be as difficult to send madden off into the world (it's no secret i cried for a month straight when max started), but it hurts my heart just the same. it felt so surreal sending him off to "official" school. although he was more than ready and beyond excited, i had a slight panic attack feeling like it just wasn't time for him to be growing up like this. i mean, max was just starting kindergarten last year, wasn't he? well, it feels that way. so, as mad walked into his classroom without even looking back, i had to fight the urge to just go take him by the hand and run out of that place. (i would have, of course, taken him to get a steak to appease the crying.=))
i am most definitely not one of those parents who is excited to get their kids back in school. i love spending the days with my boys, taking them to experience the world, and seeing their precious, little faces light up when they learn something new or do something they've never done before. if it wasn't for my love of their school and their teachers, i would homeschool those two in a new york minute and frolic around the country with them. but, alas, they are happy and well taken care of. so, i am forced to spend 2.75 hours monday through friday missing my little angels.

[some people are still getting used to the early mornings.;)]
[happy first day.]
[they've come to expect it. i can't disappoint.]
[i have vowed to be more organized.]
[mad's first day of school also happen to be the night that the lights went out in our town -- for a good 4 hours or so. mad thought it to be the coolest.=)]

we are twin souls because I feel absolutely heartbroken when our phone conversations take place within those 2.75 hours and there's nothing but the sound of...crickets...in the background!! our Peter Griffin is growing up :( next week he'll be riding off to his senior prom and we'll be moving him into his dorm (sniff...tear...sniff)...btw can you send me a little paper Madden? I'd like one of my very own. Thanks!
You need to have another babe to occupy those almost 3 hours alone!
hahaha! that peter griffin, i tell you what. he thinks he is grown already, not letting me walk him in and riding his bike home a half mile ahead me while i sprint to catch up. luckily i still have max who insists on me walking him to his line every morning.
lee- i thought we decided a dog would be sufficient??;)
