Twas the night before school and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, well, maybe a mouse..
The backpacks were hung by the back door with care
In hopes that morning would soon be there...
It was still dark outside when we started taking pictures! We had random weather today - rainy and a high of 70 - in August!!! Outfits had to be adjusted slightly!
Reid Jeffrey Walker
He was excited about today. He never seemed nervous, but perhaps a bit quiet. He will be attending only half day, which is for three hours. It's perfect for our family's and Reid's needs at this time.

When I grow up, I want to be a(n): police officer, firefighter man, and a doctor
Kyle Douglass
We have had a rule with Kyle for years now - pick out your clothes the night before school. We always argue about them when he waits. He did last night; however, he picked black shorts that were worn to church during a flour fight, and he didn't ever put them in the laundry pile but simply back in his cabinet. You can imagine how well that went over with me at 6:55 a.m. We settled on this outfit so he could be "a bit dressy but still sportsy." Whatever, dear.
Favorite color: dark blue
Favorite sport: basketball
Favorite food: bratwurst
The thing I want to work on this year is: learning cursive
When I grow up, I want to be a(n):NBA professional basketball player
Grant Jason
My oldest angel announced his last first day of elementary. I have really struggled with my emotions this year, and it's mostly because I cannot believe he is this old. I am having more trouble with Grant being in 5th than Reid in PK. He is super excited to return. He has decided to challenge himself as we have seen a piece of paper he wrote quoting his teacher from last year - something along the lines of "becoming the kid who leads with character and respect." He's ready for this year!
Favorite color: Royal Blue
Favorite sport: Baseball
Favorite food: Breakfast Foods(doughnuts, pancakes,etc)
The thing I want to work on this year is: Science
When I grow up, I want to be a(n): MLB Player
Annual photo by the sign!
I feel like Grant and Kyle are little men in this one.
Grant emits happiness and Kyle emits coolness.
oh, Mrs. Fox. If we could only have her every year....
the hall was empty except for the Swanns and the Walkers! How's that even possible at 7:40 on the first day?!
Hi, friends!
Family photo! It's the first year Jason has attended the first day of school! Good thing since it's the one and only for all three boys to be there!
Grant headed out from his family after the group photo, but Kyle wanted to show Reid the cafeteria and how to get morning milk. So, the four of us went to try it out. Kyle gave us thumbs up!
So little man had to give us one as well!
Glad Juliane got one of the big boys - already doing an assignment before the bell rang!
Reid knows several friends in his class, including our neighbor, John!
