Back At It!

We started school on Tuesday. It is mixed with joy and sadness. During 5th grade orientation on Monday night Mr. Riley (our principal) reminded us all that when we met last in the cafeteria for orientation it was when we were entertaining kindergarten.

I am not sure how we got here. How did wee little JT grow up to be a 5th grader?

His first few days have already been better than our entire 4th grade year.

Zach started 3rd grade and as you can tell from the photo takes great pleasure in annoying his brother. In fact, Zach and I both love being in the car with JT and embarrassing him with our awesome singing and dance moves.

Some notes - I realize this is not my best photo - Zach dresses himself so I can't account for the combination. I often provide morning guidance on clothes but it is often meant with a shrug of the shoulders. JT is wearing contacts. He just got them and is super excited.

So here we go school year of 2013-2014. The last year of elementary school for JT. Let's hope his final year is as fabulous as his first.

And in case you are doing the math (because the boys did it this morning). When Zach heads to 7th grade  and JT is in his his first year in high school, Rick and I should be celebrating but instead we will be in the cafeteria listening to Mr. Riley warning the kinder parents that before we know it, we will back in the cafeteria for 5th grade orientation.
