We all gathered around the church's outdoor baptism pool for a first-day-of-school prayer. It fired me up to be part of such a wonderful group of kids, parents, faculty, and staff who are dedicated to raising up our children for God's glory!
Daniel did great and went right into his classroom, unpacked his backpack, signed in (to practice writing skills - he is one of 12 in his class!), and found his spot on the carpet. He was excited when Anna and I came to pick him up - he had a wonderful day! He even got to bring home Bob the Frog - who gets to have an adventure over the weekend with us. We take pictures of him and then write in a book about his journey. Daniel gets to be the special student of the week and bring some show-and-tell to school on Tuesday. How's that for kicking off the school year?!
Anna and I had a great day together. We did lots of leisurely shopping (got a big girl booster seat in bright pink!), explored Austin highways, and had a lunch date at Taco Cabana. We met up with Jen Carter and Sammy before heading back to campus to pick up the kids.
We are all looking forward to a great year! Next stop - Anna's preschool, September 9th!
Here's Daddy giving Daniel a goodbye hug and kiss from home.
My boy did NOT want to take part in the sappy mom first-day picture taking!
Here's Daniel (far left) with friends Annie (1st) and John Daniel (2nd). They are Veritas pros and carpool buddies!! We are gathering for our prayer here.
Daniel signs in on Mrs. Keel's desk while she looks on. She is so great with the kids and actually has 5 of her own!!

That picture of him where he's like, "Stop, Mom!" is hilarious! He's such a big boy now. It seems like just yesterday we were visiting you right after you had him. Time flies (not to sound too cliche'). Miss ya'll.
So awesome. Such a big boy! How cool for Anna to have her mommy all to herself. Can't wait to hear how the homeschooling part is going.
i am glad you all survived
Awww....Suzanne!! What a sweet day! I'm so proud of you and proud of Daniel. He's a big boy and you're an awesome mom...what a combo!!!
Oh my! I can't believe it! You did a good job of balancing sappy and supportive, I can tell. What a year! I am glad your first day went well. That is half the battle, right? We miss you here!
