The first day

Hard to believe we have a 3rd grader and 2nd graders.  It seems like just yesterday that they were just wee scroggins.

Noah, trying to pretend he didn't see his goofy Dad there with the camera.

Levi was anxious to get in there.  Probably more for the recess time than anything to do with class, but at least he still likes going to school.

The eldest, looking somewhat nervous.

We kept them in the same class again this year.  Seemed to work OK last year.  Their teacher this year is a twin, so she even put them in seats right next to each other.

Ella is in a different class than the boys (their school lumps grades 2-3 together.)  The kids were kind of dissappointed they weren't all going to be in the same class.

The big news of the year is that Luke started preschool.  Three hours away from home each day.  I think his mother was even more anxious about it than he was.

He seems to be handling it well so far.  Maybe even having fun.

Although when she picked him up today, he was singing "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, please don't take my mommy away."  But he also did say he was beginning to enjoy his new school.
