Official Kindergartner

Well, it's official - Ryan is in kindergarten.  I wiped the tears as he boarded the bus this morning.  No tears for Ryan - he was so ready for school and so excited!!!  I have to trust that we raised him well and now it is his time to shine.  I couldn't be more proud of him!!!
