First day of school!

Today was the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL -- a NEW school!  We have been anxious to start so we can get into a schedule and meet some new friends.  Yesterday was the "Sneak Peek" where we got to meet the teachers and see their classrooms.  Both boys were pretty excited!  So we ran for fresh haircuts and headed to the school.
A pretty handsome kindergartener!
 My big boy is in 3rd grade! Ahhh!   Love my Dill!
 I forgot to get a picture with Dillon's teacher.  Wesley was pretty shy meeting his new teacher until she offered him a big squeeze and he literally ran into her arms.  Pretty awesome!
Today we got up and got the whole crew ready to ride bikes with Dillon to school.  Wesley insisted on wearing his long sleeved Batman shirt ;)
 So exciting to see the school grounds covered with children and their parents.  Some happy, some sad.  There's such an excitement to the first day of school!  Dillon was pretty nervous last night, so I was pleasantly surprised when he ran right off toward his classroom door.  I had to chase him down for a hug!
 We went to a little gathering for mommies and then it was Wesley's turn!  Waiting all morning was rough.  He couldn't wait to go!
 We loaded up on the bikes again and rode over with our kindergartener. 
 It's pretty fun he has 2 cousins in his class.
 Big boy going to school!  Whoa!
 Off they go!  Hand in hand -- with matching backpacks :)
Both Dillon and Wesley had lots of positive things to say about their first day. It's going to take a little adjusting, especially for little Dill who doesn't know anyone.  But we're praying they'll both find some great friends.
 
We spent our evening as a family doing a little yard work, hiking at the end of our street, and then going for a little ride off-road in Dad's new Jeep!  Boise is going to be great!
