My first blog ever. Kevin thought I’d never get around to it. Well, you know how it is with old fogies like me. This new technology is intimidating. For my first post it seemed apropos to discuss first days - of school that it.

Both our children have begun classes at their respective schools. Emma in nursery school and Duncan in second grade. Here in Lithuania September 1st, the first day of school for everyone, is a VERY important day. The children all dress up in the best clothes (usually suits for boys) and they bring flowers into their teachers. There are ceremonies and speeches and even the parents dress-up and attend. It’s a big deal.

If I figure out how this blogging thing works, you should be able to see a couple of pictures of the kids taken on September 1st. If I had planned things better, they’d be in the same picture, but since their schools began at different times, they were in their dress clothes at different times. Either way, they sure are cute!

  If I feel loquacious again, I may offer another post soon. Blessings!
