Back to School!!!

Well, it is time for another school year to start, and as you can see, the Klimek family was just as thrilled as can be to begin their school day this morning! I had to work today, so dad was in charge of our "Traditional Poses" with the kids. He did a pretty good job...

Here is the "Before School" picture of all three kids--and Jack the Dog, of course!

Austin has now officially started his Freshman year at BHS! I can't believe he is already starting high school! We always have taken a picture on the first day of school outside of school by the "sign"--Austin was so excited this year to have his sign picture taken! (We cheated--I took him to the school on Monday afternoon when no one was around and the street was deserted to take this picture--even then, he was an unwilling participant...) Austin said he had a good first day of high school, found all of his classes just fine, and he assured Abby that no one stuck him in a garbage can--sounds like a red-letter day to me!

Andrew started his seventh grade year at RVMS today, and declared it to be "boring"--the teachers talked way too much, and all they (the students) did was sit around and listen to classroom rules! He feels pretty comfortable walking the halls of RVMS, as this is his second year there--Jamie and I now have a child at all three schools here in town! I am sure he will have a great year--as long as he keeps his classroom socializing to a minimum! (Andrew's picture was also taken on Monday afternoon--it was the only way I could get cooperation for the "sign picture" from the boys!)


And here is Abby in front of the Woodland sign getting ready to head to her third grade classroom. She was the only one who agreed to have her picture taken on the actual first day of school out in public! Jamie got to walk her to her classroom and she held his hand walking down the hall like she always does. He called me later at work and said he was a little sad thinking about how old/big she is getting, and that this may be the last year she will let her daddy hold her hand walking down the halls in the school... We hope not!

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE..........
