#bufordwolves

it's hard to believe that something andrew and i have talked about for the last 3 years has actually happened.  last thursday the boys had their first day in second and first grade as buford wolves.  i just knew back when carson was in pre k that this is where we were meant to be.  it just took some work and time.  three years later we are here.  we already felt like part of the family which is a big reason we wanted to be a part of this school system.  i love their dress code (makes getting ready for school easy for this mom!), the teachers and staff are so friendly and seem genuinely happy to be a part of the school and the best part is that the boys are in the same school.  well, kind of.  brooks is in one building that houses the kindergarten and first grades and carson is in the other that has second through fifth.  but, once we move in they will ride the same bus, that stops at our driveway.  it all seems too good to be true.  i'm crossing my fingers and knocking on wood every chance i get.  but i think, and pray.  i pray a lot about it.  that this was the best thing we could of done for our kids.  not just for carson.  but for all 3 of them.  go buford!  go wolves!

happy first day!  we were all a little sleepy and kinda sad that summer was over, but super excited for our first day in our new school. 

my big boys.  how has this much time gone by?  second and first grade, watch out.  the hess boys are ready!

so andrew and i had to divide and conquer on the first day and i took brooks.  believe it or not, he was the one who needed a little more hand holding.  i think carson is so used to going to a new school every year it wasn't a big deal to him.  brooks on the other hand didn't really grasp the idea that none of his friends from last year were in his class.  don't worry, he's already made a best friend and has the little girls chasing him on the playground.  we are in trouble. 

 

and not to be left out, little miss wanted to do some work of her own.  she was busy all morning coloring a box.  she was super excited for school to start, that means she gets everyone at home to herself again.  but she sure does miss her "bubba's" during the day.

and probably the most exciting news of all (at least to me and andrew.  and my parents, since we have completely invaded their house till ours is built), we have walls!  it actually looks like a house on the inside.  all good things, slowly but surely, all good things.
