A New Year

8th Grader (king of the middle school) left bright and early Tuesday, while his brothers were still sleeping. So far, it seems that 8th grade is going to be a breeze, no worries for this guy, but I can't believe Mitch is just one short year away from HIGH SCHOOL, that's crazy.

Grant, ready for his first day of preschool on Tuesday and Joel, ready to help me drop him off, and being so understanding about the fact that he doesn't get to go to school until Wednesday.

Grant, waiting to go into the preschool, suddenly feeling shy :)...

Picking out his name

Sporting a few fat lip and a couple other little scrapes, and is not about to smile. So much for having fun with first day of school pics.

And finally, even though he was too shy to look at the stranger holding my camera, moments later he kissed me good-bye and had a great day at preschool. I was so proud of him!

Today, Joel showed that he is an old preschool pro, and didn't even break stride as he flew into his old classroom. He loved it as usual and had a great day as well. It is hard to believe that next year he will be heading to kindergarten!
