first day of school...otherwise known as hallelujah

the boys had a great day today.  it was more like an orientation than an actual day of school but they were able to meet their teachers and learn a little bit about how everything works.  here they are having some brotherly reading time together before breakfast...

we had a yummy raspberry coffee cake and fresh fruit for breakfast...

and craig was able to do his father's blessings for the new school year.

soren is in 1st grade this year and his teacher's name is mrs. welsh.  he was a bit nervous but as soon as we got into his classroom he opened right up.  


he is excited to have his own desk this year and for all the cool animals (snake, turtles and rabbit) that are in his classroom.

sy is a big 3rd grader this year which means he is at a different building this year.  our school district has one school for grades K-2 and another school a few blocks away for grades 3-5.  having one in each school is a little crazy but we will figure it out.  sy's teacher is mrs. losito and sy was about as excited as possible for today.


he is excited to have his own locker and really excited to break open all his new school supplies.

Your kids have time to read in the morning? Wow. I'm impressed. IO can barely get up early enough to shove breakfast in Abby's mouth and put her hair in a ponytail.
