School Starts, and I'm behind

On the first day of school I thought it would be funny if I posed with John's big back-pack before I went to school. Back-packs and school. Don't they go together? I modeled my new hair cut, and then went off to school, fully intending to blog all about it.

It's been more than a month since then. I need another hair cut, even.

The kids started school. First Jack and Xandri. Jack has Mrs. Scoville in fifth grade. He's enjoying his reading. He's read his way through many books. He'll have to give you a run-down.
Xandri has Mrs. McCaman in second grade. She's also enjoying school. For a while, she was accused of being the chatty Cathy, but she tells me it was the girl next to her...




Here are some of the cute photos John snapped on the first day of school on the front porch:
Asa started kindergarten with Mrs. Champion a week later. He was SO THRILLED. Here he is with the backpack... He goes into Mrs. Champion's kindergarten class, does some paperwork, listens to a story, and then when dad leaves... He's so sad his dad has to leave him...

Max is also sad when Asa leaves. It's hard to be the solo-home buddy. After a few days, though, he gets to be OK about being the home-body.
