School Daze

We (Daddy and Lucas) seem to be weathering the new school year pretty well, all things considered.

While I wouldn't say that Lucas enjoys being taken to school, he is certainly doing much better than those first few days.

As for Daddy, it is becoming apparent that it's been awhile since I've had this much reading (and writing) to do in such a short period of time. However, I'm with a great bunch of people (that's cohort to you), which makes up for a lot.

Our first day of orientation was a teambuilding day...there's some pretty good pictures involved, some of which I've put up over there...

A Visit from Papa

We had the extreme pleasure of a visit from Lucas' Grandpa Jon, AKA Papa, over the last few days. We didn't really do much, just a lot of relaxing by the pool and talking about old times. Just the same, a good time was had by all and Lucas very much misses his Papa.

I didn't take as many pictures as I normally would have - I was too busy enjoying the company - but what I captured is posted in the usual location. Thanks for coming down Dad, and we'll see you again very soon!

Monday was our first day at preschool....in a related story, Daddy is considering a career of heavy drinking. Actually, while we have had the usual "newbie" crying and screaming fits, his teacher assures me that he is beginning to fit right in. It rips my heart out to see him cry when I leave, but he seems to react very positively to his teachers.

*Sigh*...I have the disturbing feeling that we've left the baby days behind us, tearing blindly (and far too quickly, at times) into the intimidating realm of boyhood.
