Ahhh. I've been waiting for this day and it turned out I was busier today than I have been in months!
We woke up at 0600. The kids were excited & I got a good shot of them right before we all scattered.

At 0730, the boys & I headed up to the Elementary School. Max's new teacher handed out a little "Getting To Know You" sheet & it mentioned that she is HUGE fan of Science. I pointed this out to Max and he got the biggest grin. I had a hunch he'd have a good day.
I walked back home to get Loki & take him to his vet appointment at 0920. After a culture & a stool sample were taken we discovered what's been bugging him. I won't share here but suffice it to say, even the vet said "Well, THIS is interesting!"
I had run an errand and got home at the same time as the boys. They both came running at me telling me how AMAZING their first day was and how much they loved their teachers. This is a Very Good Thing™!!! We went upstairs to grab a snack and head back for Lemonade on the Lawn.
Signed the boys up for some activities and talked a bit more with Max's teacher. Turns out, she has history of working with Moderate to Severe Cognitive Disabilities AND is also quite familiar with Asperger's!!!! Can I keep her, Ma? Can I? Can I??? She loved Max & said he worked quite well with her today. I can't tell you how much this means to me. Starting the year off on the right foot!!!!
On the way home, I saw a tree I've never noticed & it just so happened that I had my camera. Handy, huh?

Shortly after we arrived back at home, Morgan came in. She was tickled pink. She had decided on Choir this year, but was a little sad about giving up Band. Turns out, she gets two electives. So she's doing Advanced Band AND Advanced Choir!!!!
Last night, Morgan was a little excited and asked if she could lay with me in bed for a while. I fell asleep playing with her hair. They grow up so very fast. I wish I could just put them in some sort of time stop and enjoy these little moments forever.
Congratulations to Morgan, Madison & Max on a great start to a new school year!!!!
