First day of school! Laurel was so excited to go. I'm sure it helped that she knew the school, knew the structure, knew the carpool...it's like being the senior in highschool. You feel like the boss, you get to just enjoy. (I assume that's true...I never was a senior...so I'm basing this on TV and Movies. Certainly the pink ladies seemed to enjoy their last year) Everything worked perfectly, she picked her outfit, we got there early, and the person she wanted to take her out of the car at carpool was right there...as if it were all scripted. Here are some pictures and a video. Luke on the other hand was confused. I can't think of a time when we've dropped off Laurel but not Luke. As she was being taken from the car he kept calling her name...as we drove off he kept asking "where Laurel?" and turning from side to side to try and find her in the car. Then he fell asleep until it was time to pick her up...so no biggie there. My plan was to drop her off, fill up the tires of my jogging stroller at the QT and go jogging. (Don't be too impressed, we're starting all over again...this would have been day 2 of the Couch-to-5K program) But when I got to the QT and pulled out the stroller the back axle was bent to the point that the back wheels pointed towards eachother. I tried to fix it, but apparently bending it by shoving the trunk door closed on it is WAY easier then using your fist to jam it back. So...I finally gave up and went home and put Luke down for a nap. Boo.

We were so happy that Laurel was excited about her first day of school. Poor Luke, he didn't know what was happening to his big sister. Since we don't get sound on our computer we're going to see if we can see and hear the video at a freind's house.Thanks for adding the pictures of the kids . They were priceless!

Love,
Grandma and Grandpa
