Well, I can't believe it, but Evan started 2nd grade today. He looks so grownup in these photos! He seemed to be okay about going to school today which I was glad. I just pray that he has a good teacher and good friends. Awhile back before school started we were doing school shopping. When it came time to pick out a lunch bag he saw a purple and gray camo one. He asked me, "Mommy will I get made fun of at school if I choose that lunch bag?" His favorite color is purple. Boy, I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to tell him he wouldn't, because it did look like a "girl" lunch bag. I told him that kids can be mean sometimes and though they would have no reason for picking on him, yes they might. So he chose the black camo one instead. It just broke my heart that he had to go along with things when a boy should be able to pick whichever lunch bag he wants without being ridiculed. Anyway, I love you Evan, and I am so proud of you for the young boy you have become!

Kelly,
Ooohh, the boys look so handsome - and old!! The day I first read your entry about Evan and the purple lunch bag I was headed up to the Junior High to get Dayton. And what did I see...a kinda cool looking kid carrying a skateborad and wearing "purple" skate shoes.
Hope school and life is going well for everyone. Miss you!
