I officially feel old now that I have two kids in some sort of school. Tyler is in Kindergarten and last week Jacob started preschool T/Th with his buddy Christopher. We have Jacob in the same program that Tyler did at the local Rec Center last year. Jacob still struggles with nursery each Sunday so we were nervous how this whole preschool thing would go- especially when he joined up in the carpool and was dropped off by someone else. So far- he has been EXCELLENT! We are so proud of him! These rare moments give my heart a little hug- when I see and hear from others that my boys are doing good things; following rules, cleaning up, sharing, being kind, working hard, etc...because heaven knows they don't do that at home ;) At least they are learning something with all my efforts! Jake was like Tyler and just wanted our carpool friends to take him the first day. Well, I ended up taking both him and his buddy because the older brother was sick. We drop off for Kindergarten right around 8 but preschool didn't start until 9. Of course we had to do something fun to calm the nerves so we stopped by our favorite donut store and bought some donut holes with the change I had in my car (because they only take cash) and played at the park right by preschool. It was a great start to a great day. We miss the extra noise (a teeny-tiny bit) and we are always happy to have everyone home :)

| Jacob went to stand for his first day of school picture then Adam and Tyler decided to get in on the action too. Two peas in a pod! Our little twins. Still would have never guessed I'd have two blondies. |

| Jacob sporting his new shirt that he picked out just for his first day of school! Jake and Ryan went on a special date to find Jacob a few new shirts just for preschool. Jacob loved it (the date with dad and the shirts) |
 |
| My three boys :) Goofballs- as usual. |
 |
| Jacob's super cool dog backpack he picked out with his great-grandma Anita about a month ago. He couldn't wait to take his very own backpack to school. |
 |
| Jake and his buddy Christopher. They were both a little nervous for the first day and helped distract each other. We gave Jacob some silly bands of awesome super-heroes to remind him how brave he could be at school. We decided to share some with Christopher too so both boys would be brave and strong for their first day. It *kinda* worked. |

| All lined up and ready for class to start. Adam was sad to see his play- mate go but we made the best of it. |

| Finally a smile from our buddy! |
