As most of you know Aaron started kindergarten this week. Despite 2 years of preschool I was a very nervous mom, especially about letting him ride the bus and being at a big elementary school for full day kindergarten. But he wasn't scared or nervous at all and had a great time. I did follow the bus to school the first day and parents are allowed to walk their kids to class the first 3 days of school so I happily went to ease all my fears. He seems to have a great teacher and even has a friend from church in his class. Here's some pictures of him before, then after school.
That's a sign language "K" to show he's in kindergarten
He later told me I didn't need to come Tuesday or Wednesday, because he already knows what to do and doesn't need any help. That gives me conflicting emotions. I'm proud I've raised such a smart independent son, but he should ALWAYS need me!
Brian had his 3 yr old check up today and did great. He impressed the doctor by reading all the signs posted around the room and was his funny giggly self. He was in the 75th percentile for height and the 90th percentile for weight. He weighs the same as Aaron despite the 2.5 yr age difference, but the doctor didn't seem too concerned about it. Both my boys are growing up so fast!
Lastly, today I got a haircut. I had been growing my hair out for over a year and am planning on sending my hair to the Locks of Love Foundation. I'm loving my new haircut and while I know it will take some getting used to, (I've never had it this short before) I'm very happy for the change. Here's some before and after photos of my hair. (including a belly shot for those who have been asking for it!)
That's it for now. Hopefully now that school has started I'll find a little more time to keep this updated, but with the baby coming in November who knows how crazy life will be.

Cute hair. Did she color it too? It looks lighter in the sun. Glad to hear the boys are doing well!
Love the hair! You look beautiful. And your boys are growing so quickly. How do we stop that? I'm glad the first day was a success!
Your hair looks great! And your boys are so big--can you believe it?
Today Rory had me leave her on her own to go to her class. I'm loving the independence... but I know she still desperately needs me.
Love your hair!!

I can't believe your oldest is in kindergarten. It looks like congrats is in order too and that you'll be having another soon. Take care!
