"Let's rock!"

The twins have adopted a new motto for the year..."3rd grade is what you make of it so, let's make it rock..." For all you Hannah Montanna fans out there this is a take off on her current hit "life's what you make of it" Since last week we have been singing it daily with anticipation for school to start. And today's the day. Bright and early this morning the twins set off to start 3rd grade. Along with the excitement came butterflies or"first day jitters." They woke up, got dressed, brushed teeth, fixed hair and ate breakfast without so much as a whimper or a grumble. In other words this was the first "peaceful" school morning for us so far...ever! Here's hoping that the calm attitude carries with them throughout the year. We had fun! They were each cooperative in having pictures taken as well. The only struggle came when Ellie tried to put her arm around Zach for the the photo. He is not interested in having her so close. At least not until lunch time...they sit together for lunch and have since first grade. I'm so thankful for that. I know Heavenly Father had a plan in store for us when we had twins. We certainly were not expecting or even prepared to be parents of twins at the time. But as always He knows best. In more ways than one we are blessed with having had twins. I love nothing more than hearing that Ellie is there for Zach. I know she is a role model for him. Zach has taught her many things as well. Ellie doesn't see the "differences" in people she just sees the good. She is example to us all. "Oops" I strayed off the subject of school. It was a great day. Zach loves the desks. Isn't that just like something I would of liked in 3rd grade? Ellie told me during homework, she couldn't wait to go back. That's surely a good sign, right? Goodnight for now.
