The new school year is upon us. It's a little earlier than what we are used to, but we are managing it ok. Running to 3 schools at 3 different times has been a tad-bit rough. Hopefully things will go smoother as the weeks go by.
Lily is a 3rd grader and didn't want me to take any pictures at school. I had to beg her for each one. The kids got to walk on the red carpet and have the cheerleaders from the high school cheer them on as they entered the school. They were even greeted by the school mascot. This is a big year for Lily because it is the first time that she will be at school without one of her brothers there.
Adam is a 6th grader now and he chose to go to a different school than Noah for middle school. It makes me a bit sad because they won't go to the same school for 3 more years, but academically we felt it was a better choice for him. It's a uniform school. He wasn't excited about that, but has accepted it. This is also his first year of going to school without a sibling around.
Noah is in 8th grade and is excited to be the big man on campus. He gets to go to a brand new school. He is so happy about his friends, his classes and the new school. Hopefully the excitement will last all the way through June.
We can't forget about Damon. It's his first year of MBA school. I took this picture the first day of school for him (which was back in July). He's enjoying it and learning to balance his time between school, work, kids, exercise and his wife. Hopefully he will continue to find balance and continue to enjoy all that he is learning.
As for me... I was hired by the school district to be a substitute teacher and I will continue to do the things I need to do in order to renew my teaching license.
Our Family Theme for this year is Family Unity. It's kind of funny that I picked that theme for the year because we seem to be going in all different directions now. I guess it's important now more than ever to be united as a family. I'll have to step it up a notch.
