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!) 
First day of school! Ours is coming soon... hope I can handle it! Katelyn will be in Kindergarten and Hailey will be in preschool. I'll only have two at home for a few hours... but I highly doubt that I will be able to get both of them to take a nap at the same time... let alone get one myself... LUCKY YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the kids were excited for school to start, that's always great to see. Adam is hopefully enjoying some mommy time instead of just missing the others.
ReplyDeleteYay!! The first day of school is soooo exciting! I am glad your kids had such a great experience. It is so fun for them. Your kids are the cutest!:)
ReplyDeleteHey Brad, How do you like teaching Middle School? I told myself I'd never do it, but found I like subbing there quite a bit. Your kids are so cute! Have a great school year!
