I'm BACK!!! I know...I know... y'all missed me terribly! Lot's has gone on this summer and maybe I will get some of it on the blog. But for now, I am going to start from the present!The kids were soooooo excited to start school. Maybe even more excited than I was...maybe not!
School in Texas starts at 7:37 am. REALLY early! But we are used to it. The day starts at 6:30 am (at least the girls day starts that early!) They wake up to their own alarm, get themselves ready, feed themselves breakfast and then come and get me up to do their hair. I love it :) Self-maintained kids.
Halle started the 1st grade. She loves her new teacher. She is reading and writing really well. She had a lot of anxiety for the first week about finding her sister and her ride at the end of the school. Her teacher was kind enough to walk her where she should be every afternoon. I am so proud of Halle. She even comes home happy!
Kassadi started the 4th grade. She didn't get any of her friends from last year in her class, but she did get a friend from church. So she was excited about that. This year she gets to rotate between two classrooms and two teachers. This is supposed to help prepare them for 6th grade (middle school). Kassadi got the flu on the second day of school... she missed a couple of days. She was sad about that! She was really worried that she missed stuff.
The girls should be walking home from school but they like to hitch a ride from our awesome neighbors down the street. My kids are so spoiled!!
Kyle is in the 7th grade (his second year of middle school). He is very smart and is in two TAG classes, Math & Science. TAG (Talented & Gifted) is a great program that helps you earn credits toward High School. They are a bit harder, but he loves it. He is taking Spanish this year. He comes home singing the songs everyday. We will all speak Spanish once the year is over!
Needless to say, the kids are doing great! I love the time I get to spend with the two little ones, especially when they are napping! hehe :) Gabe actually starts preschool next week and is so excited. He talks about it everyday.

Holy cow! I cant believe how early school starts. We would have a hard time being on time. The kids looked so cute and so grown up...the rate they are growning up your next post will show them going off to college:( Give them big squeezes from us.
They are growing up so big! I can't believe it. Good luck with school starting that early. I don't know how you do it. LOL :)
