Since it was thundering, lightening and raining on the morning of the first day of school, we didn’t get the nice outside pictures we normally get, but these turned out nicely considering. Serious boys and silly boys.


We dropped Colm off and got him all settled in and then took Liam to his class. I then went back to Colm’s class to peek in on him and he was settling in nicely with some friends from the neighborhood/soccer/T-ball.


At the end of the day Colm had all sorts of things in his backpack that he HAD to show me right then and there; he couldn’t even wait to walk back to the car. Liam was all smiles and reported he had a great day. Liam loves that in second grade they don’t have to sit with their classes at lunch, they can sit with their friends from other classes. Colm likes free choice which is essentially centers.
