Our Big First Grader

This morning we took a picture of Elijah of his first day in first grade. He was so excited to finally wear some of his new clothes and being able to ride the big yellow bus to school. He is so big; it is amazing how quickly he is growing up.

This weekend there was a little competition between Eli and Momma as to who had a more important day today (September 4th); it was his first day in public school/first grade, while Leah was celebrating her 29th + 1 birthday. That's quite the toss up if you ask me, but fearing for my life, I had to side with Leah (to Eli's disappointment). No sane husband would ever say his wife's birthday is not more important than anything else going on in the world (especially when she is turning 30!).

We are really looking forward to hearing all about Eli's day and are hoping everything went well for him today. We know there are a lot of changes and new rules to learn in such a short amount of time, but we know he is up to the task.

Good job, Big Guy, Mom and Dad are so proud of you!
