Open House

Last night we had Open House at Sam Houston Elementary. Jackson loved showing off his classroom to his little sister. To the left is a picture of Jackson's new teacher, Mrs. Welch. She bragged on Jackson and remembered Jonathan also being a good boy many years ago (Jonathan had her as a teacher about 27 years ago!). The room was very cheery and organized. I can tell it is going to be another good year.

The picture I posted of the "paper boy" was a Self Portrait made by Jackson especially for Open House...I was impressed...such a good artist... he must take after his Dee Dee.

My Big First Grader!

Jackson started first grade yesterday! Wow... how time flies. He had a great first day and likes his teacher- Mrs. Welch. Believe it or not, she was Jonathan and Jordan's Kindergarten teacher many moons ago. Jackson was such a big boy marching in the room and said he wasn't nervous at all. In his words, "I'm not nervous mommy... I was nervous in Kindergarten, but now I just can't wait to meet all my new friends." Luckily some of his "old friends" were in the class... like our neighbor Madelyn and buddy Chad.

Mackenzie and I had some girl time after we dropped Jackson off and went to eat breakfast with my mom (Nana).
