I can not BELIEVE my baby is almost 12 years old and starting middle school today. 6th grade already!! So not only is Aubrey starting a new school in another country but she's going from elementary to middle school. HUGE step! She's so smart and talented...I know she'll do GREAT! I'm so excited for her as she branches out and tries new things....one of them being band this year instead of choir. It doesn't seem that long ago that she was in preschool playing on the playground, learning to read and write, having snack and nap time, going on field trips and taking dance class from Miss Debbie! The years have flown by so fast!

We went out to the bus stop to greet her home. She was beaming from ear to ear! Was a hard day transitioning to 6 different classes versus the one class she had last year and in the years past as well trying to meet new people and having to sit by herself for lunch (heartbreaking)! But I know with time, she's going to have a blast and succeed! We just love her so much and are so proud of the girl she is and the one she's becoming!
Her dad joked with her before she left for school...saying that it's now HER time to have the long commute. :) She has to ride the bus for 30-45 minutes one way and it only takes him 5 or so minutes to get to work. They've pretty much changed places. In Virginia, John's commute every day to and from work was at least 4 hours and Aubrey's school bus ride was 5 or so minutes. She doesn't see it as a problem though...a little more reading (or snoozing) time could never hurt. :)
