First day of school 2008

Here are Kevin and Emma on their first day of 1st grade and 3rd grade. Kevin was a little nervous; mostly about lunch for whatever reason. I think he was also worried because he didn't know very many kids in his class. Emma on the other hand had several from 2nd grade in her class. This first picture is of them sitting on our front porch.














This one is in the shade of a tree in our yard. Still it was too bright for Emma and she had to squint. I can't wait for her wedding pictures!














Here they are walking to school. I think we have "walking to school" pictures of all of the kids.














This is Kevin and I on the playground.














This picture is of Emma and her two friends, Bailee and Katelyn. I hope their teacher can handle the 3 of them.














This is Emma just waiting at her dot. (Each classroom is numbered, and a corresponding numbered dot is painted on the playground near the doors. The kids line up on their dots when the bell rings and the teachers come out and bring them inside.)














This next picture is Kevin and his friend, Jessica, from his kindergarten class. He was sure happy to see someone he knew!














And finally, Kevin's class going inside. They both had a great first week, although Kevin came home and crashed on the couch a couple of days. All day school is hard! I should remember to take pictures of the big boys, too. Maybe I'll snap some this week.

How cute. It looks like they were excited to go to school. My kids were dying to go this year. Raef has all day kindergarten this year. I hope he can handle getting so tired. We'll see. He officially starts next week.

I cannot believe how much those two look like Rebecca and Steven. Talk about a flashback. School at our house always starts with tears so you can see why I hate it and just wish they could stay home. At least yours were all smiles.

Those two look so innocent and adorable. The first day of school were always great memories. I always seem to forget to take pictures of Navey on the first day, so we pretend her second or third is the first. We're heading up to Cedar on Sunday i've left Tara a blog comment, but tell her again for me! We'll go check out her and Suelyn's new pad!!!!
