Today, the Barlow family definitely started a new chapter of life - KINDERGARTEN. I honestly never imagined (EVER!) that this day would arrive. So we went from this (the first picture) to this (the remaining pictures):
We started our day with a BIG surprise for the kids (we have LOTS to celebrate) - eating ice cream for breakfast. Chocolate syrup and sprinkles too. Mmmmmm. (I did make them promise to eat a healthy lunch!).
The kids had requested cookies and milk to eat as a snack after school - so at 7:30am (after finishing up our ice cream), we were making cookies (with M & M's too). Yep...lots of sugar to make us even MORE excited!

I have such mixed emotions about our new chapter. Though I am excited for more "me-time", I am nervous about what they are seeing/hearing at school (yes, I know the kindergartners are more sheltered at the elementary, but still....). I'm nervous about them being teased and making friends. I know they have to grow up, but I can still worry!
On a side note, we went to "Back to School Night" and the principal and several other school employees already knew who we were (i.e. the triplet family) - even though we had never set foot into the school. Always good to start off with a reputation!
(I have more school pictures I will post later)
Goodness gracious, I welled up with tears looking at these sweet babies. We LOVED having Tim and Carter with us and I came away with such an appreciation for the wonderful wife and mother you are. I adored Carter and think he is simply amazing and funny and sweet. It is so much fun to see the babies we prayed for growing up so beautifully.
