the bus pass says "please be ready twenty minues ahead of stated time"

ok, no problem. he's tired but fairly cooperative.

so we are ready. and we are ready. ummmm....still ready.

and over 45 minutes later than the scheduled time....finally the bus comes. he hopped right on and waved. he was the only kid on there so far. might be the only one at all. we don't know yet. he was fine. i am a little sad. but don't worry, today c is still home to make me crazy!

here is the obligatory first day of school picture. and no...there isn't an osprey coming out of his head! (family joke...)

look how short his hair is! he looks awesome. i miss him.

so sad about the puppy delay... god, I wouldn't even be able to SEE her for awhile and I'm still so disappointed!

off to a meeting now.. on later!

Missing the Osprey! - but some day they will question you about the mailbox --- it is in every 1st day photo..... ;~)
Wish you did not have the stress of first days --- and this is an especially hard one --- thoughts and prayers are with you

He looks so adorable, of course, don't tell him I said that. LOL! Won't be long I suppose before my little Jakers will be heading off to school. *sniffs* I hope it doesn't come too quickly.
