First Week of School


Tristan and Oliver started school on Tuesday - here they are on their first day. Tristan's in 2nd grade, and Ollie just started kindergarten. They love being there together - they see each other in the halls and walk home together and everything. They've been having a lot of fun.



Rachel and Lizza definitely miss their brothers. For the last few days they've been hauling this huge Batman toy around with them everywhere, pretending he is Tristan/Oliver. They claim he's just dressed up like Batman. They're trying to be pretty realistic with it - a few minutes ago they were carrying him up the stairs and I heard Lizza tell Rachel, "Let's pretend he's bothering us." (that's one of her favorite complaints against Tristan)

I thought it would be nice to have a little more peace and quiet around here, but now I'm realizing how nice it was to have the boys home to help and play with the girls. I guess we'll all have to get used to this new schedule.

That's funny about the batman. How fun for your boys to be together- I remember that being cool growing up too, to be able to wave in the halls.

At least the girls still have each other! And batman. Cute pictures, and cute kids.

I am so sad for Beck (and me) now that Addy is in first grade and gone all day. It's great that they all have a little buddy. Beck keeps talking about riding his bike to school by himself and bringing Addy home so we can play with her.

LOL! "Let's pretend he's bothering us" That's classic!
