School Begins

I cannot believe Drew is old enough to start school. They say that kids grow up fast - they aren't kidding! I am so proud of the amazing young man Drew is growing into. We've been praying for him since the day we found out I was pregnant. What an awesome privilege/responsibility it is to parent. I am so thankful God does not leave us on our own for the task but cares for our kids more than we can imagine! Drew was SO excited to go to school. He woke up early and was dressed in record time - even though school doesn't start until after lunch.

Tom came home from work so we could all go out to lunch together. Wendy's... fancy :)

Drew ready to go into his class with the other kids. I was so happy to see one of our neighbor girls, Gracey, is in his class.

You only have one REAL first day of school - so we made it a big deal. When I picked Drew up from school we went out for ice cream. Then Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Michelle came over for dinner. After dinner we went to Fun Tyme and rode the Go Karts. Grandpa Reusser met us there to watch Claire so Tom and I could take the boys.
I think Drew had a great day despite a little sadness when I had to leave school.

He went to bed very willingly tonight. All that fun is exhausting.
