1ST DAY OF SCHOOL

Ok, this is probably one of the worst "1st Day of School" photos out there, but I am just happy I remembered to take the photo.  

Usually I am day or week late.      

So this was the best we could do this morning.  

Once again, Ben looks the most happy of the bunch to be going back to school.  

Not sure why our dog is in the picture...

Stephen, senior

Lydia, freshman

Ben and Jonah, 1st grade

Abigail up at college starting her 2nd year

Here's the report on each kiddo's 1st day:

Stephen: fine

Lydia: fine

teenagers don't talk much when asked a question:)

Ben and Jonah: all reports from teachers and aides were that the boys did a good job today. 

I appreciate that Ben's teacher realizes her first priority is to show Ben she is in charge, not him.  

I hope after Ben understands these boundaries, he will relax and enjoy school.   

Jonah marched into school like quite the little pro which he is because he has been going to school since he was 3!  He knows the drill.  Now if he can just keep his impulsiveness in check.  

That is the million dollar question!

Saying a prayer for Day#2.
