more pink

So happy to go on a bike ride with Papa!

First week of school

Ready!

Well, we made it through the first (partial) week of first grade. I need a nap.

Waiting in line to go in the first day (when he had to schlep in all of his supplies).

Every day when asked Leo said "Today was a total flop." But when asked for specifics about what he did he had all sorts of interesting things to relate--from new friends and a mystery investigated during recess, to drama class, to his own book box.

I think he'll be fine.

Twas the night before first grade

Rather than scramble to get a traditional first-morning of school shot, I thought we'd try a night-before approach. So here is Leo standing next to the corn in the field near our house.

I didn't think to make a "First Grade 2011" sign,  so this will have to do.

Funny Grandpa

Of course I missed filming the parts where Ervin was making Molly laugh...
