Empty Nest?

Dylan's first lunch at school:

Jodee's first lunch at school:
I would've had a picture of Dustin eating lunch, but Josh protested, and told me not to embarass him!! haha--Dustin said he didn't really care, but I figured Josh had a point. Dustin is a 4th grader,now!!

Here they are before school---inside because it was POURING rain outside!

Success!! The first day of school is over--we all made it! I do have to admit, it was VERY strange to have no children with me at all today. But, Josh and I helped out at the school at lunchtime, so I still got to see them, we just didn't have to take them to run errands with us! They all LOVED school today--what a blessing! I think they all got very nice teachers, thankfully, and will really enjoy this school year. The biggest change is for Dylan--they have never had all-day kindergarten here before, and our school is one of the first to do it! He was wiped out after school today--grumpy and tired! That was to be expected! But overall, he had a really good day. Jodee had fun because 2 of her best friends are in her class this year--yay! Her teacher is a nationally certified teacher, so that's always a good sign. Dustin's teacher is young and happy to be teaching. He also has some of his really good friends in class, so we are happy for him, too!

Well, Josh and I are going to enjoy our week together--he will be starting school on the 31st, and I am going to be doing some kind of work eventually. More on that to come later!
