First Week of School!

The older Mulkey boys were off to school this week. Zach missed the Kindergarten cut off date by about 2 weeks, so he is in a 4 year old "kindergarten" and Seth is in a 3 year old "kindergarten." They have been so excited about heading off to school, and it has been a perfect opportunity for them to start making some new friends!


Isn't this what you would stereotypically think a church in the south would look like? This is where the boys are at school, and also the place we decided on to be our church home. We had some information about the school and church prior to arriving here, but one of our main goals was to have some consistancy for the boys - especially since this is such a short assignment! Little did we know that the people in this church (who are very familiar with the "10-month" military families) welcomed us with open arms! It has been great...the boys not only love school, but have really enjoyed a Wednesday music class and Sunday morning classes as well.


This is Monday morning, the boys were headed out to the car. Zach is wearing is "Duck" name tag because he is in the "Ducks" class, Seth is in the "Fish" class! Don't worry Seth isn't attached to his stuffed animal, the teacher asked for each of the students to bring a stuffed animal - the animals got to spend the night in the classroom. The boys did great...it is so fun to see them growing up and experiencing life!

This is a picture inside Seth's class, compliment of his teacher Mrs. Smith! Who wouldn't love to be his teacher??

It is just the start of a very fun year...learning, field trips, parties...and making friends! We'll keep you posted along the way!!

Oh my goodness, your boys are so cute and getting so big! I always love Seth's cheesy grin! I am excited for Kaleena to be in her preschool as well...it is sad though to see them grow up so fast! cute boys!

They look pretty excited to be headed off to school. this will be a good experience for them and hopefully give Vonnie a couple of quieter hours. It will give Zach a chance to get used to being with other kids in that type of setting and doing some school things. Hope they both enjoy it. NV Mom

Yep, that looks like the church I attended when I went to grad school in LA. In fact, I had to do a double take - to see exactly where you were stationed these days!
Heres to a great year of school for all!
Take Care.
