I can't believe that summer is over here and the 2011-2012 school year has begun for my kids. Today has been a pretty emotional day.....I was weepy when I dropped Elena off to middle school and then a mess when I left Aidan at kindergarten. My kids are just growing up way too fast for my taste. Max was so solid today; not nervous at all about starting
another new school since they were finally able to get him into the school he is suppose to be in, instead of the overflow school. I was so happy that both him and Aidan would be in the same school instead of two
separate ones, as well as Elena at middle school. It sure makes my life a little bit easier.
My lovelies all dressed and ready for a new year! 
My almost 12 year old! Would you stop growing up already? 
Oh my handsome Max! He was such a good helper for Aidan today. 
I still can't believe my "baby" is in kindergarten. I was really good at school. He had orientation this morning and then his sweet teacher read the book
The Kissing Hand, which of course brought tears to my eyes. I was good and didn't let them fall so Aidan wouldn't notice. He was still a little nervous. But when he kissed me goodbye and said "I love you mom, I'll be
ok." I smiled and told him "I love you too!" and walked away with tears on my cheeks. Oh I'll miss him. But he is ready.
Here is Makai chilling while we were waiting for Aidan's orientation to start. (Funny side note: just after the orientation started, Makai had a stinky diaper. I look in my purse/diaper bag and Elena hadn't put my diaper/wipe bag back in after using wipes. And because I was in such a hurry to get the kids in and situated, I didn't think about checking to make sure it was in there. Of course the 1 time I don't have it in there, he poops. Needless to say, by the time we were done with the orientation the gentleman in front of us was probably real happy to leave!)
Me and my little man waiting for the orientation to start. He wanted a picture of both of us on his first day of school!

Wow...almost 12?? That is so crazy...I feel the same way about the kids starting school. I think I'm even more emotional this year because MY baby is going to kindergarten too!
beautiful family. I was so happy to end up running into you at lagoon, it's been too long!
Your kiddos are so beautiful! (sorry boys you are handsome)! It seemed like not so long ago when Elena was a baby in Hawaii. Time REALLY does fly
Your kiddos are getting SO big and they are adorable! Doesn't seem like that long ago when Elena was just a baby in Hawaii. So crazy! Time REALLY does fly.
