first day of school

Well, the first day of school for Max and Desmond was actually last week (Monday, August 8), but I waited until today to post the traditional ‘first day of school’ pictures because I wanted to include ALL of my children.  Today was Lauren’s first day of her SENIOR year of college and she was kind enough to tweet a picture of herself before heading out to class this morning. 

I have to admit that this first picture of the boys was taken AFTER school (when we arrived home after the stop for an Icee on the way home).  They weren’t very interested in having the pictures taken in the morning.  I think I may have bribed them with the Icees so I could get a picture.  I did have to laugh (to keep from crying) when I saw that they wore old clothes (not any of the many new clothes we bought during back-to-school shopping) on the first day of school.  I am slowly starting to accept that they are not little boys anymore and I need to start letting go a bit.  So, here is your warning:  be on the lookout for the Adam boys in their old clothes and uncombed hair:)  And, yes, I know Max needs a haircut.  But, that's not how he rolls.

“God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.”  Matthew 5:9

Did Desmond win that chin-up bar? I hope it doesn't interfere with his homework! ;)

Yes, he did! It kept falling down when he jumps up on it, so it is down and not interfering at this time. Once he finds the right doorway to put it in, the story may change;)
