Today was the first day of school in our boys’ public school system. \u00a0Unlike our experience in Nebraska, where the boys walked to school and the parents were requested to spend the first hour of the first day of school with the kids…here the parents met with the teachers last week and the kids were encouraged to take the buses and get dropped off.<\/p>\n

Dave and I didn’t have much to document this morning, since it was just them getting on the bus, but here are the pictures we did receive. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
