Back to School...

Today was our first day of school. Jacob and Jenna were both up and ready in time for me to take our traditional first day of school photos. This year Jacob is in 6th grade and Jenna is in 2nd. Jenna will still go to school with me....but Jacob moves on to the middle school, which means he will ride with Chris each morning. It was weird not to have him hanging out with Jenna and I this morning.


They both had a great first day of school. Jacob switches classes for each subject and has some of his good friends in each class. He was excited about the change and being at the middle school. Jenna's good friend Savannah is in her class again this year. Her teacher also paired her up with a new student named "Amy". Amy just came to Van Wert from China and speaks no english (I will also be working with her each day). I saw them several times today and Jenna was so kind to her - holding her hand everywhere they went. I think Jacob and Jenna are both going to have another great year of school!
PS Mom/Grandma D. - Jenna loved the JCPenney dress and wanted it for her first day of school outfit. She looked so cute in it!!
Miss Toothless.....I love her cute little toothless grin! I'm hoping she will lose the other top tooth soon and keep her toothless grin long enough for school photos. Jenna and Savannah.....Jenna at her desk (Jacob escaped the extra photos since he isn't at my building anymore!)...

What great first day photos. Love the dress... and is that the "in" purple shirt I see on Jacob? Glad you all had a first day. MOM

Those toothless school pix are my favorite! I love the difference in a 6th grade boy and 2nd gd. girl - looking cool vs. dressing up. Doesn't look like Jenna minds the desk photo. i hope everyone has a great year!
