My little man is in 7th grade!! Ack! He has been sooooo excited to start school, especially 7th grade. At first I was sooooo nervous. But as the summer has gone on and he's become a little more responsible I've relaxed.

He figured out his locker code, had a couple tours of the school, located all his classrooms and has some great friends in our ward to look out for him (upper classmen, too).

Landen called me when he got home from school and I asked him how his first day was and he said "it was aaaaawesome!" He met knew friends, lunch was so good (but not as good as my spagetti), some of his teachers are funny and he saw some "hot" girls (GrEaT)!!

I tried to be "a cool 7th grader Mom" in the morning when he left, but HE asked for the typical first day of school picture. Megan and I stood on the driveway as he rode away. I was trying to keep my composure and "stay cool"...just when I thought I was OK...1/2 way down the street he turned around and waved...Ugh...I think he took my heart with him (I wished I could be a little mouse in his pocket). I didn't "lose it" but as I'm typing this now I'm getting all teary. Ack! My baby.

Megan cheered me up by telling me "I'm going to tell all my friends about this".

Landen rides his bike to a buddie's house and then a group of them walk together. So blessed he has great friends!!
