First Day of School

First of all, on Wednesday we did some more swimming in Grandma Shirley's pool. This time with more cousins added to the regular bunch. Plus Tibi was there!
Jonah and Eden had their first day of school on Thursday. They were both really excited to meet their teachers, since we were accidentally late for Back to School night and missed seeing them there.

Eden was supposed to make a poster about herself, so I tried to take a picture of her for it, and this is what I got:Come on, Eden! Smile!
That's better, but look at the camera!
Success!
Here is Eden working on her poster.
And with the finished product. She got some help from her Mom.
And here they are, all ready to go!
I drove them to school so I could speak with their teachers and drop off some snacks for their classes. They both did pretty well getting dropped off. Eden was a little teary when I was getting ready to go, and Jonah was upset that Eden wasn't in his class. But they both had a good first day and even came home on the bus together. I think Eden loved riding the bus for the first time.
And as for me and Levi, we are going to be enjoying some nice quiet down-time at home and I might even finish painting my house!

That first picture of Eden looks so much like a little Maddie. Years down the road you can prove to Jonah that he really DID love his sister with that "holding hands" picture! Your little kids are growing up...

Okay, some of those pictures of Eden look TONS like Michaela!

I think some of the Eden pics look a bit like me too. Only she has more of a pretty thing going on. Ha. Model-ish even. She looks great! Funny that she wouldn't smile. I love the back to school pics of Jonah and Eden. They sure are growing up!

yep, even though she looks just like Peter she does remind me of Michaela growing up, I think it's that long blonde scraggly no bangs hair of hers ha ha

Wow! I can't believe they are both in school! What grades?

Just preschool- Jonah has one for year until Kindergarden, and Eden has two.
