Tomorrow, Sam has his first day of kindergarten.

We think he’s ready, even though technically he’s a bit young. And he’s very excited.

Unlike Jake’s first day of kindergarten – also July 26th, but four years earlier – Sam will be riding the school bus.

Jennifer & I will be driving to school, to deliver some vital supplies and take a few pictures.

Kids are expected to bring an amazing quantity of gear to school on the first day of class. The list seems to get longer – and more expensive – every year. When I started 4th grade, I brought with me some pencils, an eraser, and maybe a compass. Jake brought two grocery bags full of…something. I never actually saw what it was.
