first day of school.

after a long & adventure-filled summer (hello...trip to disneyland, move to montana, & the many things we've experienced since we arrived), presley is finally back in school. third grade in a new school & in a new state! i think we're all very happy about it. i'm looking forward to settling down & having a more normal schedule. presley is excited to hang with more kids his own age. tyson told me that the morning of presley's first day he woke up with him twice. first @ 4am (when he caught pres & mase playing in the living room), & again @ 6am when tyson was getting ready for work. presley didn't have to wake up until 7! so he happily got ready for school, watched a few minutes of morning cartoons while eating breakfast, & then we were on our way. the school is pretty close, only a 10-15 minute walk, so presley can do it on his own. i think he likes the independence. he loves his teacher & has already made a few friends. he had one friend, quincy, from his scout group. they're in the same class. & here is presley's first day as an east side intermediate school husky, in pictures.

homemade waffle & a green monster smoothie. 

breakfast fit for a third grader. 

skating to school.

pretty spectacular school setting. 

waiting for the bell to ring. mason & i cried a little when he joined his classmates. 

his own locker! 

mason & i sure miss spending our days with presley, but now we have some alone time to focus on pre-school & presley gets to have fun in school. life is good & we're all looking forward to fall. =)
