Finally....FDOS

The long awaited FDOS pics are *finally* here. I had a great post written out about the new "Box O' Doom-" 8 G RAM, Terrabyte HD, Quad processor and Blogger ate it. I am ofcourse behind in processing pics. The old system was really slow and didn't like RAW all that much. My very kind, thoughtful, new toy loving husband surprised me with the BOD. I now have no more excuses for slow work flow (especially since getting my tools reinstalled, but that's a whole nother thing).

It had the nerve to start raining just before our bus was due. Hence, some of my fantastic shots I had planned were all scrapped. Doesn't the garage make a stunning background?

Captain Kindergarten was thrilled to finally get on the bus this year. In case you're wondering, no, I'm not the mom that follows the school bus to the school and hovers. He's wearing a name tag with his teacher's name on it. I have great faith in our school. ;) (Not that there's anything wrong with parents going to the classroom on the first day.)

Captain Kindergarten raced into the bus and didn't look back. I do have a shot of just G's hand waving goodbye.

We stopped riding the bus after the first few days as they changed out routes/schedules this year. Our school is sharing with the new elementary school that is located in a different complex. I have no idea who thought that would be a good idea, but I'd guess they didn't think it all the way out. Changing our pickup time to 7:40 for an 8:45 school start time was just a bit unreasonable when we live 5 minutes to school. The Mommy Bus now takes everyone in the morning. I drop off at the K-1 hall. It's hilarious to watch Tre run in as not to have her walk him to his class (she has to go all the way down that hall to the 3rd grade hall).I believe this was "what *will* we do with ourselves, Mommy?!?!"Big Al starts school on Sept 3. We're going to Meet Your Teacher this week. :D
