Here are the Howe men, ready for their first day of school, and Ron ready for his job interview. Just in case you are wondering, the guys picked all their own clothes when we went shopping for school clothes this year, and they picked out their own first day of school outfit.

Andy was in my room getting his new shoes at 5:37am -- I told him to go back to bed. The guys were so excited this morning. Elias was really thrilled, but very quiet. I told Andy and Benjamin to watch over him on the bus and to make sure that he got to his classroom. We all went by the school yesterday to meet the teachers and drop off all the school supplies. We also brought the teachers chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. We want to start the year off on the right foot! Here are some pictures from this morning:
