Beginning a New School Year!

This is a big year for the Kusheba Family. Actually the past few have been quite busy with major events! This September I prepared to go back to work in a new teaching position and Quinten prepared to start school as well!
We enrolled him in Nazarene's 3 year old program, three mornings a week.
A lot of our neighbors attend Nazarene and it is only 1/4 mile from our house so we thought it was a great choice for him to start his education there.
Surprisingly enough, the school year kicked off without too much tear shed, from him anyway:)
Jason, Quinten, and I all had the opportunity to go in meet his teachers and some classmates and play in the classroom before his first big day.
He we also had homework right away, we had to decorate his school bag.
Quinn decided he wanted it to have Raffael, his favorite Ninja Turtle on it.
Daddy got right to work drawing and Quinten colored, traced his name, and adorned the other side with his giant "Q."
 Here is Quinn walking in on his first day of school.
It helped that his friend, Bella, was in the parking lot to greet him on his first day.
His teachers gave him "Smarties for the smartie" for a successful first day of school.
It is so strange to be sending our baby to school. He LOVES learning new things and comes home each day extremely excited to show us his "surprises" in his folder.
 While Q spends his days at school, Hudson has been having fun of his own. Although the first morning he seemed kind of lost without his best buddy around.
He put his shoes on and got ready to play, but paced around confused for a bit asking for "Din Din."
Hudson soon found things to keep himself happy and busy. 
He plays independently very good and had some playdates Q's first week, before he started going back to our neighbor's during the day.
 Here he is playing with one of his favorite friends, Domenic.
 Hudson also got his first big boy haircut. He did an excellent job, sitting on my lap smiling the whole time.
 Showing off his hair.
 A little shoe obsessed!
It is quite evident that both boys miss each other when the other is not around.
They usually ask for each other first thing before anyone else in the morning and always kiss each other good night (favorite part of my day is seeing Hudson waddle over to kiss Quinten goodnight).
But they make up for missed time by playing, cuddling, and of course bath time!
