Well it has actually been here for about a week and a half, but I have been blowing off my blog like it's cool!
School started with no bumps along the way! So GLAD!!! My children are all settled in school.
I now have a Junior AND a Freshman in high school AND a 7th grader AND a 2nd grader!!
I can not believe how quickly time has flown by and continues to do so.
This will be a tough year for them both.
Tyler is slammed with AP classes like Calculus and Chemistry. I think I can safely say that my kid is smarter than I am. He is in a program called the International Baccalaureate(sp) Program at school which is very difficult but will help with college choices.
Madalyn is going to a school that is different from the school that her friends go to. She has having a really hard time adjusting because the people she knows at this school are Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors and the freshmen are very segregated from the upperclassmen. Madalyn really enjoys her social life and she has not very happy that a damper has been put on it.
Madalyn and Tyler are both doing band.Madalyn is playing Sax and Tyler is playing Trombone.
Madalyn is swimming. She really enjoys it and is really good!! I love watching her!
Tyler has chosen not to football this year, but to do Cross Country instead because it keeps him in better shape for swim team which is his passion.
Miss Megan
She is also in a new school. They finished construction on the middle school by our house so we don't have to drive all the way across town now! So excited for that. She is still playing the Violin and loving it! She seems to be doing well so far. She likes the school and of course LOVES her girlyfigure
Mr. Connor
O my gosh this boy!!He is a big second grader now!! I can't believe it! He loves his teacher, she is very kind and loves loves her job. She is a big pusher of reading time so he really enjoys that! Some of his friends are in his class from last year and they are having a blast playing on their GIGANTIC brand spankin new playground!! He is such a fun kiddo!! He starts soccer next week and cannot wait!!!
So I am guessing that is it for school happenings! We are loving the change in the weather. The heat was for the birds!! Fall is definitely around the corner which is evident by the cool nights and the way the shadows are cast just slightly differently during the day! The antelope are starting to be more visible and so are the deer! They love to come and look for some nice green grass to munch on which is hilarious!
That's about it for the beginning of the school year I think. Happy 2010-2011
