the start of a new year

summer abruptly came to an end, and we reluctantly went back to the routine of the school year.  everybody was all smiles on their first day.  (they had different start days, so i never got one of everybody together.)

wes (6th) and reed (4th)

there's no more walking him in on the first day in middle school....at least not for this mama!

5 of the 6 boys in reed's homeroom 

william (8th)...and i didn't even get a picture of him getting out of the car.  times change, huh?
