Fist Day of School! First Day of School!

"First day of school! First day of school! Come on, Mom, it's the first day of school!" This is how I was woken up on Thursday by Greg (channeling his inner Nemo). Of course, I'm usually up, finished exercising, showered and ready to go by 7am, but I was recovering from a stomach bug and feeling a bit iffy still. I really wanted to tell Greg to go away, but I did need to get up and send Gavin off.
Luckily, Gavin did it all himself. We were running a few minutes behind (can't you tell from the exasperated look on Gavin's face). He is quite excited for the upcoming year. His teacher is Mrs. Ahlstrom, who was named the Utah Teacher of Year last year. She seems incredible and I'm so glad he can be in her class at Sego Lily Elementary. Her focus is science, which is Gavin's favorite subject. I think it will be a great year for him. We'll keep you posted on his adventures.

What a mature young man to be so excited about school! He is growing up. Even his picture shows it! We are so proud of him and so excited to see where his love of science will take him. How blessed he is o have such a great teacher! A "mission blessing" for us! We love you, Gavin, and we are so proud of the young scientist you are becoming! Love, Grandpa and Grandma Randall
