Back to School

Well, today was back to school for Jon Michael and the first day ever for Jalyn. Jalyn told me this morning while he was getting ready that he was so excited. I love that our boys have transitioned so well into big kids.
We just got back from Oklahoma last night (pictures and new post later) so the boys schedule was really off. Jon Michael couldn't go to sleep and after Jonathan went to work at 11pm he got in bed with me....then in the middle of the night Jalyn was totally awake so he climbed into my bed...then around 5am fell out of the bed! So it was a restless night but they were up and ready to go this morning, with no complaining.

The boys weren't cooperating with pictures this morning! But this one really does show their personalities!

Big boys walking to school.

I tried to get a good picture b/f they went into the school and as you can see they were hot and miserable from our one block walk so it didn't happen. (We got spoiled in two days of Oklahoma weather!!! I love Texas but a break from the coastal heat was WONDERFUL!!!!)

The first day of the rest of his life!!! Jalyn's backpack is as big as he is....
We met their teachers on Friday, Jalyn got Jon Michaels kinder. teacher so he was ready to go and very comfortable. We visited Jon Michaels new teacher and room and felt very good about it. I'm so excited for them! It was awful to see all the crying kids, and mommies, this morning! I wished all kids could be as excited as the boys were.
We'll keep you posted on the exciting things going on with the boys and their school lives.

Awww.... I can't believe Jalyn is starting school! Doesn't seem possible. He's suppose to still be that cute little baby at Hope group who would just curl up on that cute blanket and go to sleep. I miss those days. These kids just grow up too fast!

Hope they have an amazing school year!
