School!

It's a big day around here...the first day of school! We met the teachers yesterday afternoon. The boys took all of their school supplies yesterday. It was quite a load.



Andrew has Ms. Susan...a 27 year teaching veteran.

Scott has Ms. Katie, who has been teaching for 7 years.

This morning Derrick woke the boys at 6:00 before he left for school. They wanted to see Daddy in the morning. Andrew bounced out of bed and was ready to go at 6:15 (minus breakfast.) We had plenty of time to eat, brush hair and teeth and even to read books on the couch. We'll see how long that lasts!

We watched the bus drive past our house and opted for car-rider this morning.



Being a little brother definitely has its advantages. Scott just took Andrew by the hand and guided him right in the door. Look how big that backpack looks on Andrew!

As a matter of fact, I lost them for a minute at this point. Turns out that Scott took him straight to the gym and showed him where to sit and wait for dismissal to the classrooms.

I let him go to the room with the other kids, but snuck back a few minutes later to make sure he made it safely. They had a coloring sheet ready to go.


Amanda and I ate breakfast with Nana, ran some errands and painted.




She is sleeping right now, but it took her a while to settle for a nap. I wonder if the house is too quiet. It hasn't been this quiet since December when Andrew dropped his nap. I'm not sure what I'll do with this little extra time, but I think I'll start by catching up the blog with summer activities. We had a WONDERFUL summer and I can't wait to share stories here.
