first day of school :)

jayden & duncan had their first day of school today

(sigh)

i was so excited for them both

and i think they were too

in their different personality kind of ways :)

jayden has to wear a uniform for his school.

doesn't he look so adorable in it?

my little boy is growing up!

my middle child is growing up too

look how big he looks with his big backpack

(sorry we couldn't get any real good pics from duncan this morning,

he wasn't having the smiles)

it was so cute because jayden was telling everyone that him and duncan both started school today

it was really sweet of him and i am not sure why he was emphasizing the both part -

but he did with anyone we would talk to about school

attempting a family (minus me) pic before the rush to get everyone out the door

jayden has to be at school at 9,

duncan at 9:30

they are on different sides of town.

thankfully jordan is going to take one of them

and me the other

if not - the 3 hours i have with just one child would be spent mostly running from one side of town to the other

here is jayden with his sweet teacher mrs.b

jordan taught her kids so it is so fun that she is now teaching his kids :)

i got to know her when we took jordan's students on the 7th grade trip years ago

and i LOVED her then,

so it is an added blessing that she is jayden's teacher now.

as you can see from the picture,

jayden was a little timid at first

that is okay - it is his sweet personality

i know he will love it and warm up as he get's use to it

(according to my parents i was the same way - you probably

would never know that knowing me now :-) )

i picked jayden up at noon

and then we came home, had campbell take a nap, rested

and then picked duncan up at 2:30

i took the boys for a special treat for their first day of school

we went to JD's Chippery

which is AMAZING

and a favorite for all of us :)

i love my sweet boys and i am thankful for their new school year

i know it will be a great time of growth and learning in more ways than one.

i did want to add -

jordan dropped of duncan today and jordan said he just walked in with no problem at all

it is funny the difference in personalities of our kids

i love how it is just in them

and they are different,

unique,

and special

just the way

that God made them to be.
