First Day of 1st Grade


Today Leonard, Gavin, and I took Kaleb & Noe to their first day of school. School actually started on Thursday, August 14th, but we didn't arrive back in Taiwan until August 15th. They were a little nervous to be in new classrooms with new teachers and new friends, but they quickly found some old friends to play with on the playground and jumped right in.


This year Noe will be in Ms. Hobbs' class. Her friend Julia has been in her class all 3 years which makes Noe quite happy. She also has Ainslee & Cedric from Ms. Yamazaki's class and Sheryl & Tansy from Ms. Paetzold's class with her again. 2 new little boys moved into our ward this summer- Evan & Danny and they are also in her class. (Danny was in our ward in Canada and they used to play together when they were babies).


Kaleb is in Ms. Walter's class this year. His friends Berkeley, Anica, & Katrina from Mrs. Winter's class are with him again. He also has Minji, Lucy, & Bridget from Ms. Yamazaki's class with him. Noe was quite upset about this and wanted them in her class again. Thank goodness they all get to play together at recess. I think we're going to have another fun year!


This is from the second day of school, but it was the first day they rode the bus this year. My big kids are growing up so fast!
Gavin misses his big brother and sister while they're at school, but he loves walking to the bus stop each afternoon to pick them up!

Great to see the pics and get caught up on your life. Sorry your toe was such a source of pain for so long. I guess it must feel better now. How did it break? Which toe is it? For seem reason I must have skipped over that paragraph or didn't get that far yet. Did you guys go to the Olympics like you had mentioned in the past? If so how was it?
