First day of preschool


Jack started his first day of preschool today. I tried to get some good pictures of him this morning before we left but he was so excited to go that he couldn't stand still (which explains the blurry picture). The kids bring their lunches from home so Jack and I packed his last night. I made sure that he could open all the ziplock sacks to get his food out and showed him that there was also a spoon for him to use when he ate his pears. When I was cleaning out his lunch box tonight I noticed that his plastic spoon was still there but his canned pears weren't. He said that he didn't use the spoon because "the inside of his lunch box was so dark he couldn't see it". I laughed so hard. Jack's teachers for the year are Miss Mary and Miss Jennie. When I picked him up they told me that he has the best manners of any child in the class and used please, thank you, your welcome and even excuse me. I guess our hounding him all summer to use his manners finally is paying off. He's growing up so quickly.

What'd you do with all your free time, since you only had one kiddo with you?
Glad Jack was excited. Much better than tears!

Just wanted to say hi to you, Matt, and kids. Wow, can't believe how much they've grown! I can remember each of ours learning to ride a bicycle. Jenna, a big adjustment being at home, isn't it? I'm adjusting to being in the workplace more since Lauren is in 1st grade now. I hope Green Bay is great for you guys (no Brett Favre though!)

It's hard to believe they are that big already, isn't it. I swear it was just yesterday Isaac and Jack were babies that we pushed around in strollers.
