Kindergarten....really?

I have told myself (and many friends) that I would start a blog the day Drew started Kindergarten....so here it goes!  We took our oldest son to school this morning...it still almost does not seem real.  I told Julian that I still remember him being in my belly...how is he old enough to be going to Kindergarten???  As we drove up to school I had tears in my eyes.  Drew, on the other hand, jumped out of the car and headed towards the door.  They greeted us at the entrance of the library, we slapped a nametag on Drew and they asked a few other questions and it was done...our son had officially started school.  As I headed out (after taking many pictures....that I hope to figure out how to post in the next few days) with Max and Bella the tears filled my eyes.  It really is unreal how fast time flies!  Drew is a big boy and is truly ready for what school holds for him!  I will figure out how to live without him...and probably get more done during the day than I ever have before.  I am proud of him and it has been a joy to watch him come so far in his short little life.  We are looking forward to all that his "school days" have to bring!
Please forgive the numerous pictures...I had a hard time choosing which ones to post!

...Is this really for real!

He is such a big boy!

This is the best shot I got of all three of them...at least they are all in it!
