The Day Has Come At LAST!

Benjamin finally started school today! This morning he said, "I've waited five years for this day!" Of course he was up at 6 am and had to ask me every five minutes how much longer until he could go to the bus. When the time finally came, he did really well. He got a little quiet, but still got on the bus willingly. He came home with glowing reports of everything about school. What a relief! Now he is counting down the minutes until tomorrow morning!

That "bus picture" wasn't Bert when he was a kid?

He just LOOKS like a scholar, all grown up and all. And is so excited about it! I love it.

My first grandchild to go to school. What a great kid. Makes you wonder what he'll be when he exits the school system.

Wow. Congrats Benjamin on your first day of school. Pretty soon you'll be counting down the minutes 'till your summer vacation starts.

Facebook says he started 1st Grade, skipping over Kindergarten completely. How'd that come to pass?

Cute! You can see the excitement! So did he make some new good friends yet (still soon to tell, I know), or is his excitement more about the school activities?

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
