Joel & First Day of 2011-2012 School Year

Just for journalling purposes....Joel is currently going through a phase where he falls asleep in different places, different poses, doing various things, at random times throughout the day...here is an example of one such day: (PS...shout out to Auntie Kristy and Uncle Joe who gave Joel his "doddy"...which he LOVES!!)

This was Shane's first day of Kindergarten...to say he was excited would be a major understatement. The kid, who LOVES numbers, had been counting down days since Preschool had ended. And it was Christian's first day of 5th grade...his last year in Elementary school...this will be the only time Christian and Shane will be at the same school...sad, huh?! Christian loves being at the top of the food chain at school. And Shane, could care less where he is...he just loves school and friends and recess. Of course, Joel got in on the action too....he had his pack-pack and was ready to get off to school. So, for a few more months, its just Joel and I during the day at home doing "stuff". Joel actually loves his time alone...no one to tease him or bother his toys. Lastly, it was with a little prodding, that Gav pushed out his morning schedule and was able to make the first day of school fun...the boys were so excited. We almost NEVER have Daddy with us in the morning...its so nice!
