First Days of School

A little late, but finally some back to school pictures! We actually had 2 first days of school since Blake started on Wednesday and Evan didn't start until Thursday. Blake was SO excited to get back to school. Since we missed orientation because we were on vacation, I had talked to his teacher and told her I would walk in with him the first day with his supplies so Blake could see the classroom and meet her. He is in Mrs. Linam and Mrs. McClain's classes. We walked in and introduced ourselves and we were fairly quickly ushered out. No hugging or taking pictures in 4th grade, just all business :) So, I walked Blake back out the door and he was off! Here he is before we left the house...

He looks SO grown up here!!
On Thursday Evan had his first day of school. We woke up to a DOWNPOUR! It was storming and raining like crazy. Evan was ready, but not quite as excited about school as Blake was. Here are my guys before we left the house...

Evan has Mrs. Newcomb for 1st grade. We are very excited about a great year for Evan. You can tell by his face, just how thrilled he was to have me taking his picture in front of the whole class.
So far so good!! Both boys have come home every day happy and with lots of stories to tell. Evan thinks it is SO cool that Mrs. Newcomb knows his Nonnie. I think it's great too, because I know I will get all the inside scoop!! Hope everyone is enjoying "back to school"!!!
