First day of school!

Actually, school started last Thursday and Julia and Jacob couldn't wait to get out the door. Well, Julia was the only one allowed to go. The flu decided sweep through our house and stay and play for a week or so. :( Jacob had a fever that wouldn't go away for 5 days. Evelyn actually had it the prievous week (stomach flu) and then it went on to Jacob. Marcus is just now getting over it. Needless to say, Jacob was heartbroken that he couldn't attend his first couple days of school. He sooooo wanted to go to his class and be with Mrs. Minkler (Julia's old kindergarden teacher). And he was really looking forward to using his new spiderman lunch box. But now that he's in he's absolutely loving it!

Here we have Julia on her first day and looking so cute and grown up!


And here's Jacob yesterday all ready to go for his first day.


Julia and Jacob attend Boyd with their cousins. Here's Nathan walking Jacob to the car and making sure that his little cousin doesn't get lost in the crowd. It's so awesome to know that his older cousins are looking out for him.
Now I have to share a funny story that happened today in the lunch room (McMom, this should ring a bell with you concerning your son!). So Jacob finished the lunch which I packed for him (lunchmeat (he doesn't do sandwiches), fruit punch, peach cup, fruit snacks, and a small handful of m&ms). That's all he would let me put in his lunch this morning. Well, he got to the lunchroom and finished it all and decided he was still hungry. So he asked the teacher's aid if he could go and help himself to the school lunch--they let him of course. So he got a plate full of chicken strips, carrots, more peaches, a roll, and some chocolate milk. !!!!! My little endless pit! I just had to laugh at this...reminds me of a certain story I once heard about Ryan.....:)
