Now that things have somewhat settled down, I thought I'd post a few pictures from the first day of school. Brad is still teaching Middle School Social Studies (our school is K-8), Noah started 1st grade, and Elsie started half-day preschool (also at Red Rock). Noah was pretty nervous for the first day, but ended up doing great (we knew he would!). Elsie was very excited to go to school-she even gets to ride the bus! Plus, I think she enjoyed the attention she got since she cut 10 inches off her hair! And Adam enjoyed some alone time with mommy (though he does occasionally take a nap while both kids are gone, and when that happens, I do too!). I always miss the kids while they're gone, but I love seeing them gain confidence and learn new things. 2 weeks down, 41 more to go!

Hanging up her backpack-not an exciting picture, but I thought the back of her hair looked great that day :)
This has nothing to do with the first day of school, but we thought Adam needed some recognition (we were out of swim diapers, so we used a pull-up-they hold a LOT more!)
