Back to School

I thought I would post a few pictures of Faith and Gavin on their first day of school. They were both pleasantly surprised to find out that they each got the teachers they wanted. They started to get nervous Wednesday evening, but thank heavens for the power of the priesthood. I took the kids over to Grandpa's house and he gave them each a blessing to comfort them. They went to bed feeling excited and woke up with that same excitement, in fact, Faith (who we have to pry out of bed in the morning) was up at 7:00 on Thursday and couldn't wait to go to school. They were both pleasantly surprised to find good friends in their classes, and I was very grateful! They both came home happy. Gavin came home and when I asked who was in his class, he told me a few boys and then said, "and the girl I sit by is really pretty." He is growing up. I can't quite believe I have a 4th grader now, or that my little Brayden starts Kindergarten in a few days. He is so excited! He really wanted to go on Thursday with the older kids.
