Brock's First Day of First Grade ~ Aug. 23

I am still amazed that I have a first grader.  He looks like such a big kid in this picture.  Brock was very excited to start school this year, but was also very nervous.  I know he's going to do great!

Showing off his new Star Wars backpack.  His Uncle Greg and Aunt Diane gave it to him as an early birthday gift.  It made starting school even better!

Brotherly love.  The first few days, Ryan enjoyed getting me, the TV, his toys, the Wii all to himself.  After that, he really missed Brock.

Here he is outside of Mrs. Martindale's classroom.  He told me the night before that he was going to miss me while he was in school.  So, before he left the house, I gave him a reminder on his hand that he could look at any time during the day and remember that I love him.

Brock had a great first day of school.  He had two classmates from Kindergarten in his class and many others that he knew from playing on the playground.  He really likes his teacher, Mrs. Martindale, and has been doing really well.  Looks like it'll be a good year!
