This year's big change is 4 kids in three different schools. We realized it'll be that way for the next several years, which is a bit sobering 'cuz the start times, schedules, etc. all vary and will keep us on our toes.
Here they are in the order they went out the door this morning...
Adrienne, doing one last device check -
Her 12th birthday was just over a week ago, and we managed to capture the moment she realized she got that gadget...
And headed out the door around 7 to catch the bus, looking rather too old, our seventh grader -
Next, rocking some neon rubber bands on his braces, Michael headed out for his first day as a FRESHMAN at Minnesota's 22nd largest high school - ack!
He only rode the bus for the first day today. Tomorrow when jazz band starts, poor dad has to drive him in around 7 since there's no bussing for "zero hour."
Nicky leaves at 8 to catch the bus to 4th grade. I'm not too happy with the current bright colored clown shoes trend. Those gray & orange shoes will never match his clothes. Michael's unpictured ones are an obnoxious yellow-green.
And then Zach impatiently waited for his turn. "When is it time to go? Am I going to miss the bus?" Finally, it was time to head out to afternoon kindergarten. All four kids are officially public schoolers!
