Back to School!

Summer 09' is officially over and it is time to head back to school. Our family has a tradition of taking pics on the first day of school. I have told them that this tradition goes for college too and to not be surprised when they hear the knock on the dorm door! Here are a few pics from the first day (a few weeks ago!).
We love to humiliate our kids so here is a pic that Mr. Ensrude orchestrated (the one in the back). He thought it would be a good idea to get all of the middle school teachers together with the girls...I thought they might kill me after this!
The famous "standing on the porch" pose...classic!
Rachel looking excited to start 7th grade...not really!
Madison holding up 7 fingers for 7th grade...I made her do that!
Jordan on her first day of 5th grade.
Olivia starting 2nd grade. Look at her sisters in the background...I am sure they were praying that the photo shoot would be over soon!
Olivia and Dad. Olivia has the same teacher as last year, Mrs. Watkins who moved up to 2nd grade. Olivia thinks that Mrs. Watkins just liked her so much that she decided she would miss her too much if she wasn't her teacher. :)
Jordan and Mrs. Koenig. I knew that "J" was growing up when she cringed when we walked into her room. Now I am down to one child that isn't embarrassed by us!
Rachel and Mr. Brewster. He was Madison's homeroom teacher last year so he is looking forward to comparing the girls. He is hoping that Rachel doesn't talk as much as Madison who had her desk moved next to his due to her incessant talking. He said that if Rachel does talk alot that he will put a permanent nameplate the says "Crowell Family" on the desk.
Madison and Mrs "B". She is known as the tough one so we are hoping that she teaches Madison some organization and time management. Good luck!
And so off they went. I can honestly say that I missed them when they were gone. We had such a great summer and had so much fun. We made a ton of memories and shared many new experiences together that the house was awfully quiet when they were gone. I am sure I will get used to it though! :)

I'm crying! This brings back so many memories of my Jenn, David and Michael doing the same thing. You girls are simply gorgeous and I hope you hold on to these wonderful memories forever. Love you Grammy
