alex's first day of school

my nephew's first day of kindergarten was this past thurs, and his uncle was on hand to take a great many pictures of this milestone. not to mentions -- i rode the bus with him and daddy too!!! the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round -- ok, i'll stop.

jic's first day of school kit -- disposable camera, tissues, photo album!!! perfect!!! donated to chris (well, alex) by karen. thank you karen!!!!!!!!!!!

the best i could do when someone didn't want to sit still :-P

awwwwwwww (waiting for the extremely late bus)

i spent the past week envisioning how i'd take this shot -- and he was too eager to get on the bus, leaving uncle to snap a shot quickly!!!

coppola in east haven is like smith in ... oh, nevermind! his teacher knows how to attract kids -- ice cream!!!

this was hanging ... just not by the door ... ummm.....


alex in his alert mode -- he's a cutie!

our proud flag!

daddy had to compete with toys just saying "hi."

he may be cute, but what you didn't see is uncle jumping over the desk for this shot. wish i'd framed better.

alex's first day of school work -- writing his name :)

parents' first day of school work!

little chairs!!! sooo cute!!!

no wonder i'm only 5'6" -- i started coffee young too!

alex is ready for dismissal -- pokemon style :)

excited -- not to be going home, but to be riding the bus ... and kneeling on the seat, much to daddy's nerves!

thank you all for these great memories!!
