School's Back!

Nicholas started his third, and final, year at St. Mark yesterday.  Most other schools started back weeks ago so it felt like this day was a long time coming.  We've all enjoyed a little break since summer school but Nicholas was clearly getting bored and ready to get back into the routine.  His new, official preschool classroom is really awesome.  Tons of toys and tons of room for the kids to get their creative juices flowing.  His class size has also grown from a small, intimate group of 5-6 kids to a full room of 15.  That will probably take some getting used to but I know he'll be much better prepared when kindergarten starts next year.  But, we're really excited about the upcoming year and all the fun he's going to have with his friends.  He's known some of them since his first year so he's definitely got a group of good ones that he really loves. 

And while I'm here, I wanted to share a couple of pictures I took this weekend while Julie was visiting.  Her and Nicholas are just so adorable together and the boy was completely heartbroken when she left.  Seriously, I didn't think he was going to survive the trauma.  I can relate.

Sad.  Real sad.
