The First Day!



It's finally here! The boys have been really excited for school to start. Caleb was up bright and early (even before Chad and I). He was already eating breakfast when we came down. He is really excited about being in 3rd grade. He caught the bus this morning at 8 a.m.!





Ryan was also excited about his first day of kindergarten. We started out the big day by having a "first day of school" brunch at the Rice's house. Julia and Logan will also be in afternoon kindergarten. Unfortunately they will all be at different schools.


After we got home Ryan ran to the kitchen to put on his new backpack. He couldn't wait for his bus to come. He stood at the window and watched for it until I suggested we wait on the front porch. So Matthew and Ryan and I waited out on the porch for the bus. There are 3 other kids that catch the bus in front of our house and 2 of them are going to be in Ryans class! Very exciting!!



I tried to get a picture of Ryan getting on the bus, but he jumped on so fast that I missed him! When the bus turned around, we saw Ryan looking out the window with a huge grin and waving. I can't wait to hear all about his first day.
