First Grade

Today was Brandon's first day of First Grade! Today was such a big day for him. Not only is he now going to be in school all day but he is going to a new school, Hawthorn Academy. He was so excited about today that he was up and bathed, had eaten his breakfast, dressed in his uniform, brushed his teeth and combed him hair and was all ready to go by 6:45 this morning! And he has repacked his backpack and pencil case about 50 times in the last week.

Dave took some time off this morning to take him to school and so that was a special treat for Brandon. He also gave him a very wonderful Father's Blessing this morning before they left which reminded me of the beginning of the school year blessings my dad used to give to me at the start of each school year. Brandon is very blessed to have such a wonderful dad.
