We have a 6th grader, 3rd grader, kindergartner, and a 3-year-old who was pretty bummed this morning.
We all walked down to the school at the end of our street, and met up with friends like the Romneys.
There's a good batch of kindergartners from our ward, including L-R Ethan, Cooper, Cory (and brother Coen in the shot) and John. Girls, too.
Max and Ben kissed us bye and ran back to their doors to line up and meet their friends. Many of Andrew's friends are the oldest in their families, and one of their parents said we must be used to this by now. Here is Max's first day (he was so tall, and just barely five) and Ben's first day. (those cheeks. And James had just been born in June). Each time you pray your little one will be fine without you. Look at Andrew all lined up.
JB took James for a treat after we walked away. He was sad, and told us he really really missed his brudder Andrew. In future the 3 boys will walk to and from together every day, because Andrew is in full-day.
To get ready for school, last week I took all four to the barber shop for haircuts. Bribery with gum and phone games is the key to having James sit still. She took a lot more off this time. His hair grows fast. See the rest of us in the mirror behind him?
Andrew's face is always so cute above the cape.
Afterward, each boy picked out a donut across the street. Millie took her first pumped bottle like a champ from JB while we were gone.
As a last hurrah for summer, we went ice-blocking with 10 other families from our neighborhood. This is the only picture I got. Ben got banged up a bit with some bruises and cuts, and the little boys couldn't stay on the block long enough to go down the hill. Fun fun!
Hooray for routine and schedule.
