First Day of School

The kids started school on Tuesday, Sept. 2nd. Emily is in 5th grade, Nick is in 3rd grade and Matthew is in 1st grade this year. They were all excited to go back to school--mostly Emily (she loves school!!) This is Matthew's first year of going to school all day (he was half day afternoon kindergarten last year) so this is a big change for him. So far he is has been doing okay--this morning he didn't want to go and said that he didn't like school. He kind of did the same thing last year, so I'm sure once things get going and he gets to know all the kids in his class that he will like it better.

Emily has signed up for dance again this year and is still in Girl Scouts. So far the boys are only in Cub Scouts but we will get them into something else too. They all have Wednesday night religion classes starting in a few weeks (I am one of the teachers for the 1st graders this year). The days get busy once school begins--we will have activities nearly every evening. Sometimes it seems hard to keep up but we also have lots of fun too.
