Yesterday was the first day of school and I always have mixed emotions. I am delighted for my kids to be able to go to school to learn and grow and develop their minds and create new friendships, but I really miss having them around too, and Spencer REALLY misses having them here to address his every need! There are definitely negatives to having a spoiled little baby, whom everyone in the household adores. Now I suffer the sadness of the wee one while the kids are gone.
So this year Kaija is in 8th grade, Isabella is in 6th which puts them both in the Middle School.
Zach is in 9th grade- yikes a freshman in high school. It is hard to believe that he could possibly be that old; but alas he is and he really enjoys it! He got sucked into doing band this year which means that not only does he get to start early morning seminary this year, but he in fact gets to do early early morning seminary like at 5:30 so he can be to the school for band during zero hour- so lucky!! At least he gets to do it with his friends, so that makes it a good time!
Eli is officially a "grader" now, as he would put it! He has arrived at the 1st grade, and not only that but he gets to go to the brand new school that is just down the street from us. Maple Grove is the name and it is a beautiful school. All the other kids are jealous that he is the only one that gets to go to a new school. He is also lucky to have one of our favorite people as his teacher- Alisa Collier, we go way back to Zach's 1st grade year when she was the teacher in the classroom next door to his class, she was also the room parent for his class, then Kaija got to have her the next year.
We adore her and are looking forward to an awesome year!
