1/3/17 - Sam's Journey - First Day of School


This clip has been referenced multiple times today. Sam had a great first day at school. In the days leading up to the big event, Sam was beside himself with excitement. When I asked him how his day went today, he hadn't backed off too much from that. He even has a quiz tomorrow! Other than singing, school is the main reason this kid got up each morning. It is good to have him back in his natural environment.

Just in case you thought everything went smoothly, I assure you it did not. We started off in a bit of a panic when Sarah woke us up at 7:45 after I'd forgotten to turn on my alarm volume. I'm amazed that everyone got to where they needed to be. On time. Wearing pants. Hopefully tomorrow goes a little smoother. 

Thanks for all of your support to help us get to this huge milestone in this weird and wild trip we've been taking. Here are a couple of pictures from the day. The beam of light was totally unintentional and at the same time is a symbol of what today meant for Sam and all of us.
