Back to School 2017

Hayden's first day back to school was on August 28th.  Lincoln went back to school from a break, although not the start of a new school year, on September 1st.  Eventually we won't be on the Japan school schedule so I like to document his time after the summer.  Hayden started in the 3rd grade at Mendel Elementary and his teacher is Mr. Robinson.  He is excited for another year at Mendel and loves the fact that he can walk to and from school on his own.  Lincoln was also excited to go back to school and has gotten pretty comfortable with his Japanese school experience.  It has been just over a year since he started at Fuji Youchien and the teachers tell us he is even starting to speak a little Japanese!  We are very proud of both of our boys and are grateful they like school and look forward to going.  Here are some pics from their first days.....

First Day of 3rd Grade!

He looks too big in this photo

Daddy ran home for a quick see off...the benefit of the hospital being a 1/4 mile away.
