Starting School

The boys are now in school. Carson started 1st grade last week. He seems to be enjoying it, but it's a long day compared to kindergarten. Other than coming home a little tired and cranky some days, we don't hear any complaints. He likes his teacher and enjoys lunch and recess, though he offers few details, but that's not too unusual for him. We were able to go to back to school night and see his classroom and meet his teacher. Christina will spend some time volunteering in his class, so that will give us a little more insight into how he's doing.

This morning Elijah started preschool. He's been really excited and we think he'll enjoy making new friends and learning new things. He'll be attending twice a week for a couple of hours. He can be pretty talkative, so we expect to hear alot about what he's doing. He seems to enjoy getting older and doing some of the things that his older brother has been doing.

Clarissa will have a little more quiet time at home by herself, when she can play without being harassed on a continual basis by her brothers. She's growing up way too fast. She already wants a say in what she's going to wear, and she loves shoes. She's a little girl, no doubt.

Off to 1st Grade, day one...


He is, in fact, excited. Can't you tell?


She was grunting and pointing, telling us that she wanted to be in a picture too. We'll keep her around for a few more years...
