School Started!

Colin started Kindergarten at Gilbert Christian on August 10th and loves it. Mom is not so sure she likes him being gone all day, but he is learning so much already. Alex also started preschool and is surrounded by all his friends! Naturally he did not have any separation issues and loves playing and learning his letters. Here's Colin ready for his first day of school!

Jen, Mikele, and I have a tradition of "sneaking" into the new Kindergartener's house the day before the 1st day and dropping off a poster and some treats to make their day extra special. Colin was excited to see his poster and loved the cookies... of course I gave him one before breakfast!!!

And of course since our best friends live seconds away from the school in Mayberry, we had to meet over there and walk to school together. We are so blessed that our kids can go to school together and see each other everyday. I loved watching all the kids walk together, it was so special. This made Colin feel MUCH better and he was so excited to see Miles, Kate, and Madison on the playground.

Colin was excited to see his desk and wanted Alex to stay with him. Alex would not have minded and truly thinks he's five and was confused why he had to leave.... The confusion of a second child! The first picture shows their brotherly love and the second one shows their personalities... Do not be confused, Alex is trying to put Colin in a headlock :)

Next was Alex's first day of Preschool! Thanks to Carrie, I am able to have some great pictures. I forgot my camera!!! Bad Mom! Alex loves having his friends in his class - Jordan, JJ, and Eli.
