"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

A new school year begins

Monday night we had meet the teacher night! This was a little tough for Delainee. After a year of kindergarten with the oh so cute and oh so young Miss Hann, Delainee was not quite sure what to make of her new teacher Mrs. Turley who is quite a bit older. How old you ask? Well when we got back into the car, Court looks at me with a sarcastic grin and says, "You know, I think that Mrs. Turley was my 1st Grade teacher as well." ----she just might have been!

We talked Delainee into giving her a shot and she is so glad she did. Of course we had to capture the obligatory first day photos......



Here is Delainee in the outfit she picked out a week prior and laid out in her room. Can you still see the sleep behind her eyes?




Laetner was obviously thrilled to be heading back to pre-school AGAIN. First day is not so scary for him yet, as he has had the same teacher (Miss Gwynne) for the last two years now. He is a speech qualifying preschooler, and we are lucky that he is at the same elementary school as Delainee.


Here is the group shot with cousins minus Laetner. (He only goes in the afternoon.) Crew Bob and Fay Fay along with Shelby and I walked the entourage to their class line-ups. "The white people [were] MELTING."

Laetner makes his grand entrance in a little more style. We love Miss Donna the bus driver--especially since she picks him up at our house!

CAUTION:

"one of these things is not like the other..... " Can you figure out who it is?

After a long hard, hot day, our "geek squad" returns home victorious and ready for another day tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that...........
