First day of school

This is what Ian looked like the day he started kindergarten :) I'm such a proud Mommy!


Here are some pictures from the first day of school. Ian was great. He marched right in and never looked back - I only teared up for a moment. Jesse needs to get back into the groove of things, he cried when I dropped him off, but I think by next week he'll be great again. He only cries for a little bit when I leave and then he's fine.

So we've survived the first week of school and I think we're getting into a pretty good groove! It should only get better from here.

Me and my boys on their first day.


This is Jesse with his backpack.



Here's Ian with his backpack and in his supper cool first day of school outfit.

Hi Hannah! It's been too long since I checked out your blog. I was three entries behind! It was fun to get caught up on how well your boys have been doing. So sorry to hear about some of your college friends passing away! I hope your reunion will be fun! Don't stress too much. Just be yourself and they'll love you, I'm sure!

Hi Hannah, Sam, Ian, and Jesse-

We have decided to adopt a waiting boy from Thailand with WACAP. We hope to be home study approved next week with hopes to have our Thai Dossier in Thailand by the holidays. I found your blog a while ago as we were making our decision for which country we would adopt. I didn't spend as much time reading each post until I learned that Jesse was also adopted from TRC. I'd love to talk via e-mail sometime. We also just began a post; however, we've made it private so I'd be happy to forward a link to you as well.

I enjoyed reading about your time in Bangkok and look forward to more discussions hopefully soon!

Our e-mail is russianfairytale@gmail.com (we adopted our daughter from Russia).

Many Blessings,

Carey

he really does have a cool first day at school outfit! I am not at all fashionable, but luckily James is my opposite and has a keen interest in clothes so as long as i am not invovled our future child should fit right in on their first day of school!
