Owen's First Day of School

This week, all 3 kiddos were finally in school. Owen was chomping at the bit to go to school and that day finally came on Wednesday after Labor Day. For the first week, though, he only went for 1-1/2 hours for two days. Next week, that 3 hours at school will jump up to 10-1/2 hours. Whatever am I going to do with all my free time?

Here he is on his first day.


And of course he had to show off the new backpack. He was very excited to get a new Iron Man backpack and a lunchbag since he will be having lunch at school one day a week.


Here he is already settled in and playing at school. When I picked him up, I was told that he had a fabulous day. Last year, he wasn't so keen on participating in a lot of the activities, but it seems like a year makes a huge difference, which I knew it would. So proud of my little man.

In other fall news, Justin has his first soccer game of the season tomorrow. He just had his first practice yesterday and we're excited to see how the season goes because his coach is actually the men's coach at Clark College, the local community college. It also turns out that the coach lives right around the corner from us in a house that we once looked at buying before buying the one we're in, and his son who's on the team is a grade above Justin. It's a small world--or a small town anyway.

Well that's about all I have of interest right now.
