Off to School, Take II

First day of school for Ryan yesterday! Woo Hoo to my big man!! He loved wearing his backpack, (mistakenly pilfered from Grandma H's house during our last visit) & he looked oh-so-cute in his overalls & nice white sneakers. I must say that the outfit he did wear to school was the second choice of the day. He started out in something similar, but Mr. Man, being Mr. Man, got hold of a tube of toothpaste & well, you can guess the rest.

From all accounts he had a good day. He cried when I left him in the room, but it sounded like he had stopped by the time I made it down the hall to the door to the outside. He is a man of very few words, but when I asked him if he had fun, he nodded. I asked him if he read a story, he nodded. I asked him if he made a friend, he nodded. I asked him if he wanted to eat crickets for lunch, he nodded. You get the idea. Hard to tell, but his teachers said he did fine & he seems none the worse for wear.

Here is our handsome man outside of the school building, ready to take on the world.
Ryan & his sisters (always willing to pose...):
And home again after his learning adventures, holding his very first work of art. He's actually saying "cheese" in this picture :-).

Lovely pictures!!! You have some beautiful children! And WOW, they're all in school. How is it to have an empty home for a few hours every day?
