First Day of School

Jake had his first day of school on Wednesday, August 12. (Yes I printed the wrong date on the school sign.) 

I promise his shorts are not as ill fitting as they look.
It is the way he is standing!

At Jake's school, you can't walk your child in, even on the first day of the year. So I have no cute pictures of him sitting at his desk or anything. Jake was really excited though. His teacher this year is Mrs. Prater. You can purchase a picture of your child on their first day with their teacher. Rob was annoyed that I would actually pay money for this, but you better believe I would!

Rob takes Jake to school in the morning and drops him off on his way to work. Jake has been begging for us to let him ride the bus, so we told him he could this year in the afternoons. Our bus just has kids from our neighborhood on it and the oldest grade that rides it is 5th grade. Not to mention that it drops off right in front of our house. So we agreed. I would be lying if I didn't admit that I love it. No more having to hurry and wake Hollon up from a nap to go sit in carpool. Now we just got play in the yard and wait for the bus to drop Jake off. Jake has loved riding the bus, so it has been a win-win.

Fresh off the bus. I wanted to get a picture of him actually getting off the bus (because what could be more embarrassing than your mom taking pictures of you getting off the bus?) but I was too busy digging the paper out of Hollon's mouth from the mail she had just ate.

He said he had a great first day of school!

Finally got my picture on day 2

First day of school pictures. The first one is from Jake's very first day of school (daycare) in March 2009. The rest of the pictures are of his first day of daycare/preschool/school in August of each year.
