Today is the first day of 2nd Grade!
And our last 1st day of Preschool (ok well he actually moved up yesterday but I thought his first day was today).
We did all the traditional 1st day poses. Each individually. The boys together.
Then with Dad. Then with Mom.
The boys asked for one of all of us together so we got out the tripod and dad remembered how to use the timer. So we got a good one.
Today was a good start, well at least for me. No tears. Next year when t starts Kindergarten, it will be really hard on mom. Ok lets not think about that now! Dad took t to school and a and I ate breakfast and waited for the bus.
When you are 7 its fun to try to catch rain drops on your tongue while you wait.
The busses are so late the first day with everyone (including us) taking pictures, at one point a asked "mom do you think you should just take me, I dont think the busses are coming today!"
But at last it did. 
He made it the 2 or 3 blocks to school on the bus (we don't have sidewalks so all kids are bussed to school).
We got to class and realized in all that time...we both forgot his lunch. So I went home and got it and this was the smile I got before I left him.
So starts another school year. Its amazing how time flies. It doesn't seem that long ago that little a was born, started walking or started preschool. Then I look at t and wonder the same things; where has time gone. Is it really possible that my "baby" will be 5 in a few weeks?
The adventure of the 2010-2011 school year have officially begun and we are excited about the possibilities that await us. From this Johnson family have a great start to your school year! We are looking forward to ours!!
