School is in Session!!!

School has officially started and I cannot beleive that I have a child in middle school. John was a little nervous the first day, but he hardly every shows it. He did very well and came home excited to tell me all about his first day of sixth grade. I think his favorite subject so far is orchestra. He has been playing the violin for two years now but in elementary school he only had orchestra twice a week. Now he gets to go to orchestra every day.




My sweet girls were so excited for school to start that they were ready almost 30 minutes before it was time for them to leave. Usually I am dragging them out of bed!!




Jess is in the fourth grade and loves her teacher. Mr. Burke was John's teacher and Jess was wishing all summer long that she would get him for a teacher. When she found out that she had Mr. Burke that made her want school to start that much faster. Jess is still my social butterfly and I think that the only reason she likes school is because she gets to be with friends for seven hours a day. As long as she does well in school that is fine with me that she is very social.


Abbi is in the first grade now and feels so grown up beacuse she gets to be at school all day and even gets to eat lunch at school. Abbi has settled right in to school this year which is a big change from last year. Last year I always had to walk her to her door and wait until the bell rang for school to start. This year she does not even care if I am there, in fact most of the time she is gone without even saying goodbye. :( My baby is growing up too fast.
