The first day of school brought new backpacks,
new sneakers,
new friends,
new hopes,
and new experiences.
Michael proclaimed that his 5th grade teacher is the “best teacher ever!… well, she’s tied with last year’s teacher.”
and Jack’s first (and second) day of kindergarten began with some tears, but ended on a great note.
Here’s to a wonderful, memory filled year for us all!
Due to the start of school and work for the year, I am taking a mini-blog vacation. I’m thinking 2 weeks will be enough time to get our routines started and relax a bit.
See you all soon!
I shamelessly borrowed my photo idea from Darcie, who took adorable first day photos of her little ones last year.

next year it’ll take Michael two hands! :)
Ok, so this totally makes up for the pool thing last March or so. We don’t start school for 6 more weeks or so, the kids saw this and got all upset thinking it started sooner lol.
I hope they both had a wonderful first (and second) day of school!!!

We’ll miss ya, but get that year started off well, and enjoy the bloggy break. Hopefully once you return to the blogosphere, I’ll have big news of my own!
Cute pictures.

We’ll see you back soon. These routines are definitely hard to get back into. My blogging has had to take a hiatus too, for family focus….love the first day shots!
Handsome boys! I hope their 2nd week is even better than their 1st!
P.S. How was YOUR first week of school? :)
Can’t wait to see you when you get back into a routine.
I can’t believe your boys are already back at school. Are they year round? So nice to have great teachers!
