They're off!

The kids are gone to school.  Sarah and I are sitting quietly at home.  Brent's in the other room working.  It's kind of strange.  David was so excited for kindergarten.  He had some anxiety on Friday when we went to orientation, but this morning he was great!  He got up, got dressed, brushed his teeth and hair, put on his back pack, messed with his hair some more, and messed with his hair some MORE!  We are a little stressed about how important his hair was to him.  Even as we were taking pictures in his classroom, he was still trying to make sure his hair was just perfect - strange child!!!  He was happy and excited.  He had his lunch/library number memorized, which impressed me a little.  When they showed me that number on Friday and said to help him memorize it, I thought they might be a little crazy, but he had the six digits in his mind by the time Friday was over.  However, he is still having trouble with his teacher's name.  It will be interesting to see if he is better at math than English!!!

Jason found his classroom and met his teacher with us following.  It's nice that he likes to have us around still.  I am excited about his teacher!  After we found his desk and dropped off his backpack, he took off to the playground to be with his buddies.  

James left home on his bicycle before we left with the other kids.  He is in eighth grade.  I am okay with that, but I am having a little trouble with the fact that next year he will be in high school.  Time flies!

Sarah and I are going to have to get used to the quiet - it may take several days!  Hope everyone else had a good first day of school!
