:Well today is Gabe's first day of school. We woke up at 7:00am and he was dressed and ready to go by 7:15, but we waited until 7:30 to go, since the doors do not open until 7:45. We still got there early and had to wait outside. He was such a big boy, he was nervous, but I could only tell that because he was really quiet and really lovey, he wanted to hold my hand and kept laying his head on my leg. We got to his classroom and he hung up his back pack and I gave him a kiss and walked out, He sat on his little square, a blue one cause that's his favorite color, and just waved at me as I left. I walked out and tried, and succeeded, to not cry.
Now I am sitting at home. In my room. Trying to figure out what to do. I have to do homework and since I have all day I figure I'll work on that, and probably take a bath, and paint my toenails. Doesn't that soun like fun?
Last night I asked Dad if he would give Gabe a blessing, so that he would be able to do well in school. Dad got done with Gabe and then Avi wanted one, so she got one too, then Laura and then Lynzie. So all the kids got a blessing, then we did Brit's tradition of holding hands and saying a prayer. It was very nice and really helped with all of our nerves, at least mine. I love that even though we are 2 different religions we can still find comfort in each others prayers, even though they were very different.
We were going to walk to school this morning, but since they all had to bring so much stuff we decided that we would drive, so last night I went out to the van and cleaned it out. So it was all nice and clean. Not that anyone saw it because we parked down the road a little ways and walked to the school.
Well here are some pictures of the kids in their school clothes.

| Even though she wasn't starting school yet, we still had to do pictures of her school clothes. |
We have more of the two big girls, but I don't have them right now. So I'll post those later.
Now I'll add some from this morning, when they were outside getting ready to load up in the cars.

Well now I have to work on homework. Wish Gabe, and me, luck on the first day of school.
