First Day of School

Here are some photos from my boys' first day of school. We had a staggered first day this week, as Gabriel went back to school on Tuesday, and Ash headed back on Wednesday. They were both THRILLED to be back. Gabriel is in third grade this year, and has Mrs. Ulmer as a teacher again. Asher is still with Mrs. Kern and Mrs. Cableman, who both teach the preschool and Kindergarten. He's in his second year of preschool and is loving every minute of it!


Gabriel just looks SOOOO old this year!!


It wasn't Asher's first day, but he still felt the urge to pose with his new backpack next to Gabe.


Love this smile!


Asher, on his first day of school.




Ash and Rhy pose together before we head out to school.


This is them on the same day, LAST year ... just thought it would be fun to compare!


Big Grin!

Ash opens his locker, but is distracted by some long pony tails ... uh, oh!


Asher picks out his name tag. This is a daily ritual in his classroom, and helps the students learn to identify their letters!

Chris did his first day yesterday too, kind of bittersweet. But his Pre-K class also has the kids choose their names, last year he had trouble finding it, but this year was All over it. It's hard to believe they grow so fast.
