Back to School 2009-2010





We now have been in school 3 weeks. So I guess it is time to update the blog. Blakely is now in 7th grade, Katelyn in 4th grade, Garret in Kindergarten, and Mom is still in first grade. Blakely of course loves every minute of school. She was bummed that she got a bottom locker again this year, because she is always getting hit by books. She is still in band playing the tenor sax.(Of course Mom is on her about praciticing) She is now 5'4.
Katelyn has Mrs. Osterhout for her teacher. She is enjoying school, but for some reason since school has started to sleep in Shawn and I's closet because she feels safer. She sneaks in every night somehow; Mom and Dad are getting tired of it. Her very best friend Emily is not in her class so that has been a hard thing, but two special girls Rachel and Rebecca are in her class and she has enjoyed being around these special spirits.
Garret has been waiting all summer to go to Kindergarten. He is going to kindergarten in the afternoon and has Mrs. Mendenhall as his teacher. He is enjoys every day so far.
I have a class of 26 kids. My first day was crazy as 5 kids showed up not on my list. I had 29 children the first day and then with a few switches all of us now have 26 kids. I think for some reason Wednesday is our class' best day. I am starting off the school heavily loaded as I am taking a math class every Tuesday until 9pm. Blakely and Shawn pick up the slack. Only 7 more weeks to go until the class is done.
Brady is continued to be watched by Tara, who is a wonderful lady. She is expecting a baby at Thanksgiving, so I am sure he will love being around a baby. (He loves babies.)
