Jonathan's first day of his senior year

Tuesday, September 1st was Jonathan's first day of school in a new school of his senior year. Joel & I came up the night before to attend the open house, so we both decided to take Tuesday off to share in this special day.

Monday night at open house we got the grand tour of the school and were able to meet all his teachers. The last teacher we were to meet was, Mr William Munch. When we arrived in his classroom, the guidiance counselor introduced Jonathan as a transplant from South St Paul. Mr Munch then laughed and stated "You are my rival!" We all looked perplexed at each other as Mr Munch went on to explain. Mr Munch stated that he graduated from Henry Sibley and as everyone knows WSP & SSP are total rivals. As the conversation continued, He said that he graduated in 1981 which Joel replyed ......"So did I!" So Mr Munch went behind his desk and pulled out the 1981 yearbook from Sibley and sure enought......there they both were. What a flippin small world. Jonathan made several new friends that evening, but one that stood out was, Cassie. She helped him around and showed him where all the classroom were. She was great help. That night, Jonathan didn't do much sleeping due to nerves & excitement.

Tuesday morning I got up with him to help him get ready & make sure he was on time. And of course I had to snap the kodiak moment as well.


But as he pulled away........I couldn't help remembering way back to kindergarten. It was September 1997, when my little man was proving to the world he was ready to go to school.



As he got into that big black pickup ...........I couldn't help remembering him getting into that big yellow school bus........................



Boy time has sure flown by. In no time it will be May 29, 2010 and he will be graduating from high school and on his way to college.

Lots of love......

Joel, Amy & Jonathan
