First Days of School

Well the kids and I just got back from a trip to Iowa on Tuesday (9/8) and the day after we got home school started for Alex. And although I have pictures to share of the trip I thought school photos should take precedence. Alex's first day was Wednesday (9/9) he came home with a big smile and said he had a great day! Max had kindergarten orientation that day for an hour, and parents we expected to be there and we were. Max was really nervous and threw up 3 times on the way into the classroom. But on his first day Friday (1/2 the class went Thursday the other 1/2 Friday) he was excited and smiling and came home smiling saying he had a great day too.


Here they are getting ready for the big day.


Here's Alex on his first day (9/9). Grandma and Grandpa Steffen were still here for his big day. (Out of the generosity of their very big hearts they helped the kids and I get to and from Iowa)


Max on his first day of kindergarten (9/10).

Looks like they both had a good day- how did Sophie do with both of her big brothers gone? I'm sure she helped out with Henry. :) See you in less than a month!

I'm glad they both had good first days! Poor Max, I hope he got feeling better quickly. Sophie looked a little sad seeing them go...how did she do as the "big kid" of the house for the day? See you soon!

Sophia's doing pretty well with the big boys gone. I think she misses them though.
