Yesterday was the first day of school for my older boys. Marty wasn't too happy about having his picture taken but I insisted. He was also nervous about school because this would be his first year in middle school. He tried to tell me that he would be too old to have a back to school picture taken in the 7th grade but I just laughed. Joey, on the other hand, was more than happy to have his 
picture taken. Joey was also looking forward to this year at school. Luckily, both boys had a fantastic day. For those of you who know Marty, you realize what a HUGE thing that is. When he isn't around people he is close to and comfortable with, Marty comes across as the quiet, studious, smart one which has made him the target for a lot of teasing in the past. It was such a wonderful change of pace having him come home from school in a good mood.All my boys had great summers. Gabe developed an obsession with the lawn mower.
Marty and Joey both improved their swimming ability greatly and ended the summer being able to enjoy the deep end of the pool.
And, Gabe being Gabe decided he could do everything his brothers could do.
I hope their school year is as wonderful as their summer was.

My oldest is going into middle school this year (6th grade), she already asked me if I was going to embarrass her at the bus, lol. I told her I wouldn't, BUT I was at least getting a picture of her before the bus comes.
My youngest is going into 2nd grade, so she still lets me.
My girls start after labor day, right now they are excited. Not sure how they will feel closer to the end of the week, lol.
Glad to hear it was a good first day! Hope that your son doesn't get teased this year, that is hard for a kid to go through.
Back to school was such an amazingly fun time. I hope they have a great year
