First day of school

I wanted to post those wonderful first day of school picture we all take, but needed to wait until Judah had his first day. So here we go. Micah is going into Grade 4 this year. It will be his last year in the Elementary school here.


Smile child, Smile!! It's not going to kill you to pretend to be happy that school is starting.
Aslynn is in Grade 1. I confess that I cried after dropping her off on the first day. This probably isn't news to those of you who know me well. I cry easily.

Sure now he smiles.
We could only get the picture of Aslynn after Micah stopped goofing off with it.


Then we needed a picture on Judah's first day. Picture taking went something like this.
"Okay Judah, hold up the sign please."


"No, hold it in front of you."




Judah please stop waving the sign around. I want a picture of you just nicely holding the sign.



Yes Judah, the sign says that it is your first day of Preschool. I know that your not in Grade 0, those are O's on the sign not zero's. Please don't erase it. Could you just hold the sign up so that Mommy can get a nice picture. 



That's great Judah, now a little higher okay.






Too high!! Just hold it in front of you so that I can see it.



That is so not what I meant.


No, too high again Judah.




Would you please stop looking at the sign. I just want one nice picture of you holding it so that when you are 18 and graduating from High School you don't think I didn't love you enough to take a 'first day of Preschool' picture. Hold the sign right here and don't move.


Finally. There that's nice. Now Mommy is just going to take one more picture from another angle okay.

Never mind.
