FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

...and the summer vacation is over!
 
It was fun as long as it lasted, but all the good things come to an end.
 
Today was the fist day of school! 
 
Markus had to get up 5:15 to make it to seminary, and then to High School. 
Kai had to be at his middle school by 7:45,
and Niko and Maija had to be at school by 9 to not be tardy. 
 
Niko rode his scooter, and just like last year..wanted to leave 40 minutes before the bell rings...just to make sure to be there in time...when in reality, it takes him less than 10 minutes to get to school.
 
And then there is Maija...always running late. 
By the time Niko was at school, catching up with all his friends...Maija was still looking for her socks, and who knows what else....
 
It was a great day!  Kids all made it to school.
 
Jason and I enjoyed the first day to school as well...by running errands together,
grabbing some lunch in a San Francisco Sourdough Eatery,
and enjoying the quiet car ride around town ...
We got to listen the radio station we wanted to...such luxury!

 
 
Kai ready for school.

 
I almost forgot to take a picture of Niko.  Fortunately he forgot his luch and came back for it.


 
By show of your fingers...what grade are you in?
 
I did forgot to take a picture of Markus but when it is 5 something in the morning, it is easy to forget lots of things.  So, this was taken after the school, while Markus was working on his first homework assignment.
