Sophia didn't want to be left out. Can you see the anxious look on Levi's face?<\/p><\/div>\n

That’s right school started this week.\u00a0 On the first day Preston and Levi were so excited.\u00a0 They were up and dressed before the sun was.\u00a0 We all made the trip to the bus stop only to find out that the bus was early.\u00a0 It is a few blocks to the bus stop from our house and when we rounded the corner the kids took off on a mad dash.\u00a0 The bus waited for them and they made it on just fine.\u00a0 They got on the bus before I could even wish them luck and say goodbye.\u00a0 Since the bus was there so early it waited for a while.\u00a0 Corey and I were able to catch up and wave to the boys through the windows.\u00a0 I could tell Levi was a little anxious and was on the verge of tears.\u00a0 Later that day he told me he cried when Corey, Sophia, and I walked away.\u00a0 You can see his silhouette in the bus picture on the top right window.\u00a0 Other than that everything went without a hitch.\u00a0 The kids love their teachers and are excited about getting back to work.\u00a0 Preston has already started and finished a book and has started a new one.\u00a0 It has been really nice and quiet around here with just Sophia and I (and sometimes Corey).\u00a0 I seemed to have acquired an extra shadow.\u00a0 Sophia doesn’t have her brothers to keep her busy so she just follows me around all day.\u00a0 It is funny to see how she plays.\u00a0 Just today she was saying “I love you” and I told her I love you back.\u00a0 Then she informed me that it was her elephant talking to her not her talking to me.\u00a0 The kids are loving school.\u00a0 I’m loving the alone time with Sophia.\u00a0 Corey is liking the quiet time he has for work.\u00a0 We are all happy! Yay for school!<\/p>\n
