Preschool 2.0

Tennyson started another year of preK this year.  She was excited!!  But she also said she was a little scared because it was new teachers, a new classroom and kids she wouldn't know.  Of course, when we get there, once her backpack was hung up, she was in the room without even a goodbye, a wave, a turn around and look at Mom and Dad one last time.  Nope, right in and raring to go!  I think I prefer that to clinging to my leg, crying, not wanting to go.  No, we will have that when it is Truman's turn.  Thankfully it won't be for a couple of years!
So, to document, here are the many faces of the first day of school (I will note that there are many more photos of Truman to this post, but his reaction was priceless...and it was Tennyson's second year of preK, so...I did take some when we dropped her off, but they are on my phone!!)
All excited and ready to go!!
 What we found when we came home...
a very...
 VERY,
 VERY
inconsolable little brother.  He didn't get why we left with her, but didn't come home with her!!
 Marlowe couldn't have cared less.
Tennyson had a great first day and can't wait to go back.  She asks me every day who is bringing snack, what they are doing, when is it her turn for snack...I hope her teachers are as great as her teachers were last year!  And that they can handle a thousand questions an hour from this little girl!!  Have a great year Miss T!!

Blessings

We had the opportunity to bless Marlowe this past Sunday.  It was a wonderful blessing, minus the older brother's epic meltdown when Mark took his little sister away to give her the blessing.  I think it is safe to assume Truman will have his sister's back as they grow up.
We were lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa Smith AND Grandma and Grandpa Farmer here for the special day.  Along with many friends.  We are thankful and grateful for those of you who were there with us.
Everyone was decked out in their finest, newest, Sunday best.  Except for Truman.  Poor kid.  They just don't seem to readily sell boys suits/dress shirts/ties around here.  And of course Mom left it until the last minute so I couldn't even order anything online.  Regardless, he still looked mighty handsome.  We took a ton of photos, so here are some of them.

 The Blessee





 Truman got upset that everyone, but him, was taking pictures...
 So I gave him my camera
 Then I made him get in the shot
 There is always one of them making a "cheeze" face

 Oh, if only you knew what it took to get him to be still long enough to press the button.
 Back to the Blessee
 Last one!
