Off to another exciting school year!

I cannot believe the summer is over!  But, all things must end and we enjoyed every bit of freedom!  Sam had his last Lowe's project with Uncle Josh. 

 A recent trip to Goodwill netted us some new PJ pants that were a big hit!

 Hit a matinee showing of Angry Birds and loved it!

 And my last day of summer break was spent at the Museum of Science and Industry.  We had a great time and Bamma and Bampa came too!

 The boys all got to participate in a presentation at the tornado exhibit!

We were able to go see the Lego Brick by Brick exhibit, very cool!

 Noah helped out during a demonstration here too!

 Future astronauts!

 Noah had his first day on Wednesday, August 17th.  I had an institute day, so Mike took the day off to take our new third grader to school!  He's going to have a great year with Mrs. VanderVeen!

 Sam got to go meet his teacher Ms. Divyak during Kindergarten meet and greet day.  Bampa took him to see his room and meet some new friends!

 These two enjoyed some last afternoons of playtime before Sam is off to school!

 This weekend offered some gorgeous weather.  Perfect for kites!

 And then today, Monday August 22, was Sam's first day of Kindergarten!

 Some good conversation with the big brother helped calm the nerves!

 Waterbury Elementary gets 2 Rodriguez brothers this year!

 He was anxious, but happy to see some familiar faces from preschool and the neighborhood!

 Off he goes, can't wait to hear his stories when I pick him up at 3:20 today!  Hope it was a great first day for him!

So, we are officially in school!  Excited to see all the learning that happens this year!
