Today was the first day of kindergarten for Hyrum and he could NOT wait! Dad stayed home for the morning to be with Hyrum on his first day of school. 12 o'clock couldn't get here fast enough.

Finally (at least for Hyrum) we went out to take pictures by the tree


It was bright

very bright.

This is pretty much how it was for Noah


He really felt like he was being left behind.  He always wants to be lock step with Hyrum.

As we were getting everything together Hyrum took off to the bus stop.


Then that magical moment when the bus arrived.


It seemed to swallow him up as he excitedly climbed aboard. Dad teared up as we walked back to the house and jumped in the car to race the bus to the school to watch him disembark into a new adventure.


We managed to stop him briefly for a picture


Before he was off and into his class room without a backward look.


We came home with a crying Noah who was very put out at not being able to go on Hyrum's adventure with him.  We had to console him with "school" at home.


It seemed to work

Dad had to take off on a business trip which left Noah Elijah and me to document the triumphal return. That was not the easiest to hold a video camera with one hand and a still camera with the other and actually get everything right.  I did manage to get a picture of him coming up the walk to the house though.


He's off and running.
