the big yellow bus...

In the absolute blink of the eye... the time has come!!!! When she was very little and we were going to meet Daddy some fall mornings, as we ate breakfast we watched for the big yellow buses.. and we promised Abi that "one day you'll be riding one of the buses".. and here it is... the "one day".... and it has come just way too fast!!!! 

Course, Abi didn't think it was "so fast" and she is more than ready to head off to school.... it's all begun!!!!

So, nothing doing... Papa and I had to be there to watch the first time on the bus!!! Posing for these photos was hard, because this little gal wanted to be certain that the bus was not missed.....

But, we ALWAYS have to stop for photos!!!!

The stop is just a short walk from the house... it will be nice for Abi and Sadie to have this time together each morning before school.. and I'm even planning on popping down once in a while to walk with them.....

At the stop, someone is very excited about the days and adventures ahead.... I'm glad she is so happy to go... this is an important time for the years ahead....

and here it comes....... the day is truly here.....

Without a worry in the world, Abi lines up with the others and hops right on....

Baby asks for one last wave goodbye (but she wants to go)

Up and on.........................

doors close, and the future has begun...




We have a school girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
