August 27th, 2010
Scott and Vanessa arrived in Nashville with Gemechu today! We (and a LOT of other friends) met them at the airport. He is precious!! Bennett and Will already love him and can't wait until they get their new brother from Ethiopia. What a great day!

A very emotional Homecoming



Will with Vanessa and Gemechu-He was so excited about meeting Gemechu, he asked to go home with them so he could play with him!

While Marc and Bennet went to go help get the Bonner's luggage, Will got to play with Gemechu for a little bit.

Scott and Gemechu doing some bonding. What a beautiful sight!

First day of school at Glendale

The boys started school on August 12th. They both had a half day. Everyone was all smiles! Mama had some tears at the Tears and Tissues event that was held in the library right after drop off. Thankfully, my dear neighbor, Becky Hornsby was there to help dry some of my tears. She is the new libriarian at Glendale this year. The boys have known her since they were born and love her. They think it's neat that she'll be their libriarian.

Glendale Sneak a Peek and Kindergarten Popcicle Party

On August 11th Glendale Elementary hosted their annual Sneak-a-Peek and Kindergarten Popcicle Party. Both of the boys will be attending school there this year. Will is in kindergarten and Bennett is in 1st grade. Glendale is a Spanish Immersion School which means they will learn how to speak Spanish and Spanish is taught in most subjects. Even homework comes home in Spanish! The boys are sooo exited to learn a second language!

Will and Mrs. Amezquita-the kids call her Mrs. A

Will in front of his classroom-What a BIG Kindergarten boy!

Bennett and Mrs. Davenport-She is so nice and sweet!

Bennett at his desk-He can't wait to start school!

Will and Sloan-Loving the popcicles! Will and Sloan were in Encore class together last year and now they're both at Glendale! Yeah!

What a fun day! We met so many nice parents and kids. Hurry for Glendale!
