Today is Back to School! My oldest is now in Grade 5 and the twins just started Grade 1.
Myself? I have my days free, a first in 10 years. Yes, there were a few teary moments and it was hectic to get 3 kids settled into 3 different classes in only a matter of minutes.
Yet, they are there and I am here. The house is quiet. It’s just me and my coffee, and the sounds of the keys as I type.
I miss you summer break, you were fantastic. But, this feels mighty fine too. Ahhh.
Teresa from NanaHood says
Hope your beautiful gals have a fantastic school year! Blessings to you from Teresa at NanaHood.com

My daughter is in college but I remember those mixed emotions on the first day of school like it was yesterday. Enjoy the peace and quiet {until they come home ;)}
Your kids are gorgeous btw!
Tammi says
Thanks Kimberly, wise advice! 🙂

The summer went way too fast! But I welcome Fall! My youngest started grade one today as well. Her older brothers are both in high school *sigh* Mama is feeling old these days haha
Tammi says

What a fun day for the girls, but a sorta sad one for you. But I remember those days, and I did enjoy those quit days, “for a while”. Thanks for sharing on Oh My Heartsie Girl this week!!
Enjoy your day!
Tammi says
this ‘for a while’ concerns me. lol
Kelly Hutchinson says
I have one who has graduated college, one who is a sophomore in high school and one who is home schooled. I would love a day to myself!
Tammi says
Oh wow, good for you mama!

Cute kids! I have a freshman and a Senior this year, they grow up so fast!
Tammi says
Wow, big milestones in your house this year!
Melissa Hopper says
Beautiful girls. My kids have been in school for 2 weeks now.
Tammi says
Hope they are still loving going!
alissa says
They look so stylish in their matching jackets. Your oldest is looking more, and more like you.
Do they not have all day Kindergarten there?
Mine have been in school for 4 weeks now. It was nice having Labor Day there to break up the days.
Tammi says
No, we have half-day Kindergarten here. Some schools have all day but twice per week. So, it’s a first to have them all gone, all day. Eeeek! And she does doesn’t she?! Hoping thats a good thing! lol
Rhonda Albom says
I guess I have been following you a while now, it doesn’t seem possible they could be old enough for 1st grade. Beautiful shot.
Tammi says
I know, right?! You are so sweet Rhonda
Joyce says
Cute photo. It’s hard to believe your kids are just now going back to school. We’ve been at school for a full month already.
Jay @CraftySpices says
They all are so grown up wow… Not to mention they look lovely.

Have a nice rest of the week!

Thank you!
Cynthia Dingwell says
I like all the activities and fun my children were involved in, watching them grow is beautiful.
Carole M says
I’ve been following your blog for some time now, I can’t believe the girls are that big already! Did you ask for the twins to be in separate classes? Or did it just work out that way?
posh says
Love all of the pink in the jackets and glasses.
Tammi says
