First Days of School 2009

The school year is officially in swing with today marking the second "first day of school" when Grant boarded the school bus mid-morning. Clayton started kindergarten on August 5th. Public preschool always starts a little later than the rest of the public school kids, and they get out a little earlier, as well. Clayton was as cool as a cucumber on his first day and Grant was nervously giddy with excitement. Grant's preschool will run a half of a day and he will go in the afternoon session. I was quite tearful as I watched that big yellow bus swallow my firstborn and take him away - kindergarten just feels like such a big deal! With Grant I was just bursting with pride and excitedness knowing how he will probably jump right in and make all kinds of new friends and have everyone falling in love with him with his kind heart and generous, fun-loving spirit. It's so hard to believe that we are at this stage of the game already! Grant will be in kindergarten next year, Evan the next, and Blake just two years after that - phew, it is scary how fast it will all go by!

I also put together a little video of each day. I have discovered Windows Movie Maker lately and figured out how to put multiple clips of video together into one movie. I love projects like this so you may be seeing even more video with my posts in the future!
