First for the First Grader

Since we drove the 'red-eye' route home from Powell, I was a bit concerned for Hudson's first day of school. But he jumped out of bed like a champ and found himself waiting for the school bus. Lucky for me so I could get a picture or two.Then came Bus #7, exactly 10 minutes earlier than last year. It picked him up and whisked him away to school. The rest of the day was filled with questions like "When will Hudson be home? How much longer?" by his adoring fan, Dalanie.

Finally, we heard the bus squeal to a stop and off got this confident first grader.
The heat and long day pretty well wiped him out. He wanted dinner and then to go to bed.

A week and a half later and we are still trying to get in the school groove. School nights are rather short by time he does homework, eats, and play for a bit. But I think having Fridays off makes up for the longer school days.
