New School Year

The kids started yet another school year today. Maddi is in the big 7th grade. She's excited about her schedule especially her German class. She did quite well last year and loves to say short phrases to the neighbors. They smile and think it's great that she's trying to learn their language. We think it's pretty awesome too!


This picture is a bit dark but it turned out better than the other one of Dallin the big 1st grader. He's excited for 1st grade. His teacher seems like a nice lady and he knows a few kids in the class.





Here's Lauryn being a ham for the camera. She's going into 4th grade. She has a few friends in her class, she's excited.
Brilee loves school and is excited for 5th grade. She has a male teacher this year, I remember my first male teacher in the 5th grade too. I know she'll have fun!


With these kids all ready and out the door, what will I ever do with my time?? I'll tell you what I did today...came home and jumped back in bed! Then, I got back up, went running, cleaned house and I'm blogging. What a day. We start piano, gymnastics and Dallin begins percussion lessons. Evenings will be juggled from one event to another. We're looking forward to seeing their talents expand.

We loved watching Dallin interact with the kids in his class. Notice who gathers around him? One of the girls next to him had told her friend that she liked Dallin. (they met Friday at the picnic) So, now the other friend likes him too. :-) He has quite the following already, what will we ever do?
