First Day of School

Max started Kindergarten last week and he is doing so well adjusting to the new schedule. He is a little tired when I pick him up, so we're trying to get everyone in bed early at night to make sure they get enough rest. Max has an incredible teacher who loves Jesus, and is excited to teach the kids not only an education, but said she will teach them about Jesus every chance she gets. I am excited about that! Here Max is with daddy just outside of his classroom on the first day. I did cry a little...especially the night before. But I could tell he was ready, and that helped me deal with the transition. He was getting bored not being at school, so I am excited for him and for what this year has in store for him. Sutton started preschool at Metro, so he and Max will be at the same school and we LOVE that! They are in the cafeteria at the same time and can see each other from across the room. Sutton just loves his teacher, Ms. Staires. Max had the same teacher when he was in preschool. Actually when we went for enrollment, Sutton asked me why he couldn't just stay there that day! He is so funny...lately he has said some words wrong and I don't correct it because I think it's hysterical. He tells me to "honk ka corn" which is really "honk your horn". He loves it when we honk the horn. The other day I said I was going to make pancakes and he can't say it, and says "picnics".

This is the boys leaving Chapel on their first day of school. At chapel they explain all of the rules they have and what they expect from the parents and children. Then they end with praise and worship....it'll make a grown man cry to hear a chapel full of children praising our heavenly father. My only saving grace was having Sutton with me because he was singing with us, but had a three second delay to his words. So it made me chuckle inside. Max looked up at me and smiled when he heard him as well. NOTE: They are holding hands here....these guys are good buddies!

This is at chapel, just giving a little love! I have to say that I love them wearing their uniforms...they look so cute! We got new school shoes, and did you know that you can run faster with new shoes on? Yep, it's been proven at our house :)
