Date Day

Today, Wes and I had a date day. Wes took the day off and we spent the day together, had a nice lunch and went to see Bourne Ultimatum. This is a tradition that we started last year on Brendan's first day of Kindergarten, and plan to continue each year around the beginning of school. I love it!

Pa-Pooh's new toy

I like how the name on the front of the car matches the passengers in the car. To get the full effect of the expressions on Brendan and Pa-Pooh, you may want to click on the image to make it full screen.

Back to school

The boys have gotten off to a great start with school. Ryan is in 5th grade and Brendan is in first. Here is Ryan showing off his new, very organized locker. Let's hope he can keep it that way. Brendan lost his first tooth! In the picture above, he still has the tooth, but it is so wiggly you can see the gap. We are all excited about Brendan's teacher, as he has the same teacher that Ryan had in first grade. We all love Mrs. Perkins, and look forward to a great year. Wes and I went to parent orientation Thursday night and met Ryan's teachers, Mrs. Burke and Mrs. Warren. When we got home, Wes told Ryan "Your teachers seem very nice.", to which Ryan replied, with great sincerity and seriousness, "That's because they are."
