First Day of First Grade!

Joe had his first day of first grade last week. He was much more comfortable with the whole school thing this year, and wasn't event hat nervous about having a different teacher. We know he's in good hands with Mrs. S., and it hasn't been hard for him to hook up with his friends from last year during lunch and recess. It has been terribly hot, and our school isn't air-conditioned. We actually had an early release one day last week, which I thought was very kind of the powers-that-be.

Matt also went back to school last week. He "looped" up to fourth grade with his class this year, so it made for a nice transition. He said it was his easiest start of the school year yet. That's probably why he and Daniel look so relaxed in this picture!
