some big firsts!

Professor Durrett's first day of class was yesterday!

and... George's first day of kindergarten was today! When we dropped him off this morning, his principal walked us all down to the gym where they were lining up in their classes. At the entrance to the gym she said "George, do you want to say goodbye to your parents?" but even as the words were coming out of her mouth, he started racing over to his class without so much as a backward glance! All we could do was laugh. He has been ready and waiting for this day for months now.

According to his sibs, Thomas is now officially a "big kid" since he is two. For his own part he was pretty excited about his carseat promotion, cake, and presents.

A classic Durrett gift opening scene... We have Helen being a bit of a bossy boots trying to "help" Thomas with his gifts (aka do it for him), and George totally oblivious and reading his third Magic Treehouse book of the day.

Thomas liked the animals, Helen liked the baby animals.

George.... was absorbed by a 4-H kid's science poster on generators.
