Hello First and Third

Last hurrah of summer with the neighborhood kids at Ferry Beach

And their moms

Ethan's first day of third grade!  Tuesday was for third graders only.

All grown up and ready for Wentworth.  For the first time, I decided to let Ethan pick out his own outfit for the first day of school.  Third grade seems like a good time to allow for some self-expression.  I actually dig his new Star Wars/Minecraft shirt, nice (but still elastic-waisted shorts), and Patriots socks.  It's so Ethan.

I still got a goodbye hug and kiss from my big kid.

Third graders!  This was as close as Madison would get to those boys.

Two days later...Adam's first day of first grade!  He had been so lonely the past few days and was thrilled to join his brother at the bus stop this morning (but a little nervous to have to take the bus without his big brother).

This guy is SO ready for first grade.

Daddy stopping for a last minute hug on his way to Boston.

And there were plenty of hugs and kisses for Mommy.

The boys at our bus stop just keep multiplying.

And they're off!  Just like that.  Sigh.
