Dad started the semester a day before Unit 5 started so I did our Back-to-School dinner at home that night. I hung up a few banners (from his P.h.D party), used some coordinating placemats (that I'd designed, printed and laminated) and wrote some notes of encouragement on laminated conversation bubbles by each person's plate. The next morning for back-to-school breakfast I wrote little "notebook" notes on each person's paper plate. It was a simple but fun touch. Then we, of course, got some pictures on the front porch and walked Brie in to the school (because of a BIG thunderstorm the night before we'd been unable to attend the back-to-school night), dropped off her box of supplies and met Mrs. Goelitz in the gym. That night we went to Meathead's as a family for dinner. I can't believe that Brie's in 1st grade!
In September Alex started his second year at Ironmen Preschool with Mrs. Laura Thomas. It is such a great program and we're glad that Alex can be a part of it. We snapped a few pictures before he headed out for his first day back at school.

As I very belatedly do this post, I can't believe how much Brie has changed since August. You've lost two teeth, have longer hair, and have gotten taller.
