The 1st Day of School!






September hit, the weather turned cool, and school is in session!! Yesterday was the official start of school here in St. Cloud, but since Hans only had a 20 minute orientation session yesterday, we treated TODAY as the first day of school! The bus comes 2 minutes earlier this year than last and you would think it was an hour earlier! We took some pictures on the porch and then Hans took off for the bus stop (at the end of our cul-de-sac). Good thing he did as the bus was on it's way! Gunnar, Orn and I took off running and I was able to get one shot of them as they ran onto the bus.

So, this afternoon I left the university a tad early to make sure I was home well before the bus. Of course, now the bus was about 15 minutes late! I got some pic's of the boys as they came off the bus, both grinning after a great start to the school year. Yesterday Gunnar reported that his first day was 'awesome.' Today was reported as being even better than yesterday! Why? Because it was OUTSIDE RECESS today. Some things never change. Hans reported that his favorite part of the day was also RECESS!! They're both enjoying seeing friends that they've not been able to see much over the summer. School is good...at least in 1st and 3rd grade! :)
