First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Bryson's first day of all-day kindergarten. He has been looking forward to starting kindergarten all summer, and he had a hard time falling asleep last night because he was so excited for today.  This morning, Bryson was calm, cool, and collected and ready to be dropped off. I, on the other hand, was a little sad about letting my baby go all-day, but I know he's in good hands with his teacher, that he'll love school and learning, and that he'll be just fine.  The all-day schedule will take us both some getting used to, but once we do, I'm sure we'll both enjoy it.  

Bryson had a fun first day of school.  His highlights of the first day included: playing at the block center, watching a back to school video, eating a taco for lunch, and visiting the school library.   He "didn't like lining up SO many times," but he had a great first day of kindergarten.  Bryson is growing up!

Anniversary Hike

Jarom and I celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary last week.  It's hard to believe we've already been married nine years, and I'm looking forward to at least another ninety.  To celebrate earlier in the day, we took Bryson on a hike at O'Fallan Park.  It was a beautiful there and we enjoyed the scenery and the many deer we saw grazing along the path.  It was fun to have Bryson with us for the hike, and then we went out to dinner and a movie while Grandma Jane watched Bryson.  It was a nice way to celebrate nine years together.
