Oh my Judy, I was just thinking of you and Peter Jack! I know he'll have a good time at school.
Owen started about a week ago to, and I think his favorite part of the day is looking at a school bus parked outside the school. Here is Owen's first day of school photo.
Such beautiful boys growing up way too fast.

Absolute doll he is! I bet that was heartwrenching for you to send him off to pre-school.
