First Day of School 2010

I am so grateful for the priesthood. The first day of school was wonderful, but just a few days before both Gavin and Faith were feeling a little nervous. Scratch that, Gavin was really nervous, but thanks to Father's blessings I sent three happy and excited kids off to school. Then I had one that I packed a lunch for who was crushed to find out that he had to leave the kids at school and return home with just Mommy to play with all day long.
Gavin has been thrilled with his teacher and says that she is the best teacher ever. I am so thankful for that, especially after last year. He also has a lot of wonderful friends from the ward in his class which I am so very happy about. Brayden couldn't wait to go to school and even though he didn't know anyone in his class he was thrilled at the prospect of making new friends. I really admire that kid's attitude. He had an incident at recess with a boy following him around pushing him. His big sister and older friend came to the rescue by talking/threatening the boy. There haven't been any problems since. Faith of course loves her teacher and is busy making new friends anywhere she goes.
I was so pleased to see big smiles on all three kids faces when we picked them up! After school we had a neighborhood swim party in the backyard completely unplanned, but lots of fun!
