Austin's First Day of Kindergarten!

Austin was very excited to start school. He had a wonderful first week.

Welcome to Rosa Parks.
Walking to Mr. Mattern's line-up wall.

Austin is ready to go...
Austin loves his teacher, Mr Mattern.
My baby is all grown up.
Waiting and waiting...


and off they go...
Walking down the hall to their classroom.
This school is huge!
Austin's second day of school...
"okay mom let's go"


We Made it through the first week of school... many more to come. Austin looks forward to school every day. I look forward to picking Austin up from school every day, anxiously waiting to see how his day went. I still can't believe he is old enough to be going to school. Yes, I cried just a little on the first day. Austin on the other hand, gave me a hug then waved goodbye, and off he went, no hesitation. He is so ready for school, but it is definitely hard to see him grow up so fast. He will do great!! We love our Austin and are so proud of him. He truly is an amazing kid.

Austin's Teacher is Mr. Mattern. I think he is a perfect fit for Austin. At Rosa Parks they have 5 different Kindergarten classes, three of which are full day. Austin is half day, with only 13 kids in his class. I am so happy that Austin gets to attend such a great school. We are excited to begin a new journey with Austin. We love him dearly.

I can not believe he is that old. He looks so great and so grown up. I am glad he is doing well. I am counting down the day until Addy is ready; we both need it. Miss you.
