Nicholas started 2nd grade at Parkside Elementary on August 21st. Sporting his really cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle backpack and new clothes he got from Grandma Foutz as a birthday present, Nicholas is attending Mrs. Gabrielsson's class. With a tent for a reading center in the classroom and a couple of guinea pigs, Fudge and Hot Fudge, as class pets, second grade is going to be way fun. Hopefully lots of learning will be involved as well.
With just a little apprehension of the unknown, Andrew began his first day of Kindergarten on August 30th. Mrs. Gardner once again has an Ashton boy in her class. With his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle backpack and tennis shoes, Andrew has thoroughly enjoyed his first couple of days at school. He is so excited for all of the fun field trips, recess and new friends he will experience this year.
Mom has mixed feelings about all of this of course. It's hard to see her baby growing up so fast, but is going to enjoy these few hours every Thursday and Friday morning to get a few things done without interruption. We'll keep all of you updated on all the happenings throughout the year at Parkside Elementary.

Nicholas and Andrew, you look so good in your pictures. You are getting to be such big boys. Grandma will be happy to see you soon. Love you all, Grandma F.
I remember those days standing in front of the tree in the front yard on the first day of school. It is hard to believe that Nicholas and Andrew are getting so big.
