Today is the first day of school for Martin and Emma! It’s time for a different schedule around the farm now, although with Claire not starting until next week, it will not be all at once shock. Now, I need to think of what the most pressing jobs around the farm will be.
It was much easier putting Martin on the bus this year with a year under his belt.
Martin and Emma pose for the traditional first day of school photo.
Just the other day I commented to a fellow Iowan in my platoon down here in Texas that “well, State Fair is over, so school will be starting soon.” And she and I had to explain how most of Iowa starts a week or 2 before Labor Day weekend to those from the East where they start a week after Labor Day. Consequently we finish in the spring before they do.
And you can’t beat West Marshall as a place to go to school.
Emma looks just like her Aunt Kathy in this photo. Nana
