All The Grandsons Go to School

Here are Miles and Lucas heading out with mom, dad and grandma. All was well until we met all the other students ready for school. The bulletin boards were so cheery and welcoming and the teachers were so sweet and kind. You couldn't help but be happy to be in school and happy to have children so inspired and filled with kindness. The boys turned very still and quiet while they sat at their desks. It is very rare to see Miles still and quiet. In fact today he reported that he had to put his head down once as he was talking while the teacher tried to talk.

There were nice bulletin boards with one filled with want ads asking for third graders who want to excel in school to learn. I couldn't read aloud the one asking "Could you say something nice to someone today?". Examples were Cool, Awesome, Whoa, Good job. I think it's because I'd forgotten to use those for so long myself that my voice kept breaking up when I read. Hey, I realize everything will be different after the first week of school.



Peyton and Walker were not up for having their photo taken because they were waiting for 8 year old Joe to accompany them to the bus. They are so lucky to have a good pupil role model. They are in Pre-first which I guess is the new name for Kindergarten though there is a difference.

We had a great weekend at Uncle Ron's and you'll want to know he probably will not be going anywhere for his 80th birthday. Twelve of us floated the river in tubes along with only 100 others. It was bright, sunny and fun!
