Southern Housewife: School has started for Trent & Haley

Well, its a day of many emotions. It is the first day of school for my niece and nephew, Haley & Trent. A happy day for them, as they are another year older in school. A sad day for us as we have to say goodbye. Goodbye? Are they moving somewhere? Are you not going to see them for a long time? No, No, of course not. But this has been such a wonderful summer with Trent & Haley-boo. They have spent countless hours here at the house with me and the twins and they are such sweet, precious people. Now that school has started and summer is at its close, they will not be here when the twins wake up; No more forts made from chairs and blankets and pillows; no more trips to Taco Bell and Wal-mart. And its just sad, people. We have truly enjoyed the company of such funny, energetic, and loving young people. Trent is now in the sixth grade. I told him this was a pivotal year for him. Its as if he's standing at the door to his future. He said, "what does pivotal mean?" Haley is now in the fourth grade. This is her first year to ride the school bus without her big brother. My how they grow up. The other day we all had ice cream at Dairy Queen together and Haley said, "I just think whoever invented ice cream is awesome!" then she proceeded to tell me that if she was really skinny she would eat a whole bucket of french fries. These are the things we will miss! I am so thankful for our summer and our special time together. Now for some pictures!
