The Gee Family

Today was Landen's 1st day of Kindergarten. He is going to Chandler Elementary this year and his teacher is Mrs. Jackson. He was very excited about starting Kindergarten. He loved going to "Meet the Teacher" last week and to see his classroom, desk, etc. Today, he was still excited but a little more nervous (as you can tell from the smile in his pictures). He went into his classroom just fine, hung his backpack up on his hook and went to his desk to start working on his "Welcome to Kindergarten" packet. He didn't say much the whole time. I was giving him a little pep talk and I noticed, he seemed a little bugged by it- so I asked him if he wanted us to leave and he said (a little annoyed), "Yes". I think this was the first of many times he'll be embarrassed by Phil and I. I was very proud of Landen for going to school with no problems and being so brave. I think he'll do great in Kindergarten and love it! It's kind of wierd not having him at home with us. I already miss him.

Notice how excited he looks!

Carter is already 4 weeks old. It seems like we just had him and now he's a month old. Time sure does go by fast! In some ways though, that's a good thing. It's been a bit of a challenge trying to entertain Landen and Nathan this summer since Carter has joined us. They are used to going and doing things everyday: swimming, park, play place, etc , and with a newborn in the house, we've had to stop all that and kind of stay home. Needless to say, the older boys haven't liked that much. So, I'm glad that the summer is coming to an end and Landen will be starting school next week. He's very ready for it and so am I. Here's some pictures of what we've been up to the past month, as well as some pictures of Carter.

My cousin's wife Whitney designed these awesome baby announcements for Carter. She did such a great job that I just had to post them on here and praise her a bit. I couldn't decide on one favorite, but I was able to narrow it down to these three. I think they turned out amazing and the best part was... I didn't have to do a thing!

I can't decide which one I like better- the black and white or the full color.
