In the car, Noah got sick. Kate quickly washed his shirt and we stuck it in the window to dry.

It was a party from the minute we got in the gates.

Emotional day. First day of kindergarten at PS133. I didn’t get it, what was the big deal? Kate even had to convince me to go with them… I get/got it now.

Moral of the story, don’t let that business suit keep you off your BMX bike. Ever.

We weren’t sure who we would know at the new school, but then we saw Selah and Samantha who were both in Noah’s pre-k class.

Saying goodbye.

The first day was short, and went real smooth. Noah adjusted quicker than we did.
