A New Car!!!

Amber finally got a new car this past Saturday (a Chevrolet Equinox). So far, she loves it. We had to take the kids with us to pick it up and sign the final paperwork, which was a little distracting. But overall, they were very good. Here they are doing some coloring on the showroom floor...


"Daddy, we'd much rather be int he new car than standing in front of it, staring at the bright sun."


Time to go...

First "Real" Day of School

Since the parents went with the Kindergarten kids on the first day of school, Tanner's first day on the bus was actually his second day of school. Our bus stop is right next door which is going to be very convenient.

As you can see, we have a lot of kids at the stop (and apparently, it grew the next two days)...

What a bunch of enthusiastic learners!


Tanner talking with Preston from across the street (he was trying to line up who he was going to sit with on the bus)...


Preston may have pulled the "I'm in first grade" card...


Carsyn was happy here, but when the bus drove away and Daddy said goodbye to go off to work, she was literally devastated...


Here we go!!!



One final wave goodbye...


We have a feeling there are going to be some fun times on bus 68 this year...

Welcome to Kindergarten!!!

Tanner officially started Kindergarten on Tuesday 8/30. Mom and Dad went with him on his first day to meet his teacher and classmates. He goes to Ferguson Elementary which has undergone massive construction in the past year (basically a brand new school), so it's very exciting.

Dad's turn...


Ferguson is a really cool looking school (especially the older front as shown here). But it's the newer construction in the back that is really amazing.
