First Day of School 2017


The boys (and even more so, mom and dad) are ready for the first day of school for 5th and 1st Grade!  TJ was slow to get up and required mom and dad to go into his room and do the "Finding Nemo" line, "first day of school, first day of school."  As he grumbled out of bed I wondered to myself what his teenage years will be like waking him up.  Perhaps hide a few alarm clocks in his room.

This is the last year the two boys will be in the same school at the same time.  TJ got off to a good start on the Safety Patrol and Grant bounced out of the van ready to go!  Of course I had to roll down the window and call out to TJ, thoroughly embarrassing him in the process, to the howls of laughter from Mrs. Boat.

We are looking forward to a big year for both of them as TJ finishes elementary school and makes the jump to Middle School and Grant grows into smart young boy - although I can't agree with his choice of future career (even if he is a funny dude sometimes).  

Our Lucie may have sensed the long days ahead by herself in the house as she watched from the door.  I know she will be happy in a few hours when they come home.
