First day of school

 Well, school started up again, and this time Jensen gets to join Ryley!  He just started Kindergarten and Ryley is in 2nd grade now. 

The first day Jensen just came to school for a little bit and met the teacher, Ms. Tirocchi (in the background).  Then they had a half day.  Finally, the big day came for him to ride the bus to school with Ryley.

He was so excited, waiting here at the bus stop!  Then, when the bus actually pulled up he panicked and didn't want to get on that thing.  With a little persuasion, tough love and Ryley holding his hand he finally went to school on the big, yellow cheese box. 

The ride home was much funner and he loves taking the bus now.

Swimming

We love the pool!  We swam almost every day this summer.  It was the activity of the afternoon.  Evy even learned how to swim a little ways underwater this year.  Jensen and Ryley are already fish.
The pool is open for the last time tomorrow.  We'll be so sad to see it close.  It's still hot here.
