and so the next 13 years begins...

elliot, sam and i got to go to elliot's school last week to see his classroom and meet his teacher. elliot was so excited. he saw a few friends from his preschool class and that made him even more excited.

here he is today right before we walked to the corner to wait for the school bus. that kid has no fear. if he does he hides it well. notice his cute shirt. it's a monkey skateboarding in an empty swimming pool. he's already noticing what's "cool". it's cute.
just waiting for the "dooda bus" as sammy calls it.
grandma homer sent elliot a little mcdonalds money for a first day of school celebration treat, so after jeffrey got home from work we headed down there and then took our shakes to the park. i'm going to miss this river so much. (sigh). it's so hard to move, even when it's the right thing.
me and my boys. i love them so much. even on the hard days. i'm so lucky.
oh and i had to throw this one in. elliot surprised us with a new use for leftover grocery sacks. you can make a suit out of them! (yes, he poked two holes in the bottom to fit his legs through) i think he should market it. what do you think? :)

It is funny how kids realize what is "cool." When we ask Will if he wants to put on his "cool shirt" he will always say yes. By the way, how do you know the Allen's (from Allens Overseas)? They are friends of my family and we saw Tyler when we were in Korea this summer.

Gosh!! I know this is weird, but did you cry? Mom cried every first day, first day of elementary, first day of middle school and first day of high school. Each time it absolutely broke my heart. It's going to be a long 13 years, but it's so worth it. Yay!
