First Day of School

Matthew and Jacob started school last week!! They have been talking about it for months and months. And they've thanked Heavenly Father every night in their prayers (for the past 6 months) that they get to go to school.

They love their teacher, Miss Michelle, and have done all kinds of fun things already!

Here they are on their first day!! Handsome little guys, huh?! (Please ignore Matthew's black eye!!)


Mommy and Zachy are keeing busy with the boys being away. Every Tuesday, Zachy has music class with all of his little friends at our house (same as the boys last year). We have 14 kids total!! And on Thursdays, Zachy has his own little preschool with Rose, Claire and Scott. We take turns - so I teach every 4th week. He'll love it and I get a few hours to do who-knows-what!!!

Our family is getting so big!! They're not kidding when they say that "kids grow up so fast" and "treasure every moment!" I know they're all only gone a few hours a week, but I'm SO excited when I get to go pick them up!!

I love my boys!

What do we do with our free time. I try to get things accomplished and then just don't have the energy and so I sit on my bum and treasure doing nothing. Hey did you ever get my response to your email about hair?

They're so cute with their backpacks that are almost as big as they are! :) Justin and I are thinking about putting Jack in preschool next year because we know he would LOVE it (and really because he needs more little guy buddies;).. But it will be nice to still have a couple of little ones at home! I'm sure Zach is just loving his one-on-one time with you! He's such a cutie! Tell the boys congratulations on their first year of school for us! I love that they've been praying about it for six months! LOL!

so cute that they are so excited about preschool, and so fun that they have each other there. We had the excitement the first day here, but the last couple drop offs have been tears from him at the door, and tears from me in the a car.
They are so adorable. Have fun with Zachy too, I love the little trade off small group thing. We did that in Boston and having 4 little ones made it so with fun to watch them grow and develop real friendships.
