First Days of School, 2011

A quick pictorial rendering of the kids on the first day of school.  Unfortunately, there are no good pictures of Jacob.  He refused to allow us to walk him to school on his first day of middle school.  My solution--bum-rush him after school with a camcorder.  Right in front of the school.  Right in front of all the kids in the school.  I think the lesson was learned.  Denying mom and dad what they want will result in something far more embarrassing.

 First day of 4th grade. 

"No more stinking 5th graders!"

 Springing the ambush in Jacob.

Kevin is center photo, camcorder in hand.

Jacob is in the cluster of kids left of him.  Oblivious.

 Owen set out his first day of school clothes.

And back pack.

And socks.

And shoes.

 A touching farewell on the first day of kindergarten.

 Getting ready to go in.

It's good to have a big brother looking out for you.

 Hmm.  Kindergarten.

On the way to 4th grade!
