A new school year

Sorry I haven't written in sooo long. Life has been too busy and I see no signs of things slowing down for me in the next few years. Last week Chris, Jack and Mary started school on Monday. Kathryn didn't start school until Thursday. Mary has a pretty sweet schedule. She has no school on Tuesdays and the rest of the week she has class noon to three. She does have 2 online classes, but she doesn't even need to get dressed for those. She is very excited.

Jack started 6th grade and is now at the middle school. He has nothing interesting to say about that except that his teacher "is one of those crazy people that believes we evolved from apes".

Chris has a really tough first semester, although he is done with class by 3 everyday, but not done with school. He will be working hard and studying hard everyday.

Kathryn started school on Thursday and couldn't wait to get out the door. I told her that class starts at 8:30 and she is usually still asleep then so she needs to start going to bed early. She said "if you can't get me to wake up, just carry me out to the car and buckle me in my seat"

She has gotten up with out a problem both days though because she is so excited. I'm sure she will keep her teachers busy. I asked her how her day went on day two and she said "great except all day my teacher kept saying don't do that, put that back, not right now Kathryn" We were hoping school would wear her out, but she comes home begging to go play with the neighbor kids.

Jack on Kathryn's first day of school. Can you see how awesome his burned leg looks? What a nice smile and good looking kid he is.
Kathryn on the first day of school. She has learned to smile for the camera! She is going to Garden City Montessori. It is going to be a great year! They do really fun stuff like take swimming lessons, and ice skating lessons and tae kwon do lessons! Kathryn is going to love it!!
