First Day of First Grade!

It's hard to believe that a whole year has passed since I put my first baby on that big bus and tearfully waved goodbye.  I can't say this year was without tears (his or mine) but there were less than last year, so we are making progress.

 But he's ready....he may not think he is, but he's grown and learned so much over the past year that I know he's going to tackle this year head on.  

love this shot, he's like yeah....I got this!

He was so excited to get a Skylanders lunchbox, even though we don't own the game...wishful thinking for Christmas, I guess!

This picture is just so....them.  Love it.

Liam was saying, "Jake, do you need a hug??"

Nana was visiting so she got to come to the bus stop!

Go move some mountains, kid.
