Back to School

The kids went back to school 2 weeks ago and so far things are going well.
 This year is big for Zach because he is now in 5th grade and in Middle School. Things are very different for him but he is doing well so far. Zach was very excited for his first day and since his school starts an hour earlier than the other kids he was up early and out the door before they even got up.
 This year he has to ride the bus to and from school.  We are lucky that the bus will pick him up at the top of our driveway so he doesn't have to walk far on cold days to wait for the bus. He has 7 different classes which is a lot for a 10 year old but he is doing well so far and really enjoying.
 Aaron is now in 1st grade this year and things are a little different for him this year and he has a lot more work than last year so he is still getting use to it.
 Katie is in 3rd grade this year and loving it!  Katie loves school and she has many friends so she was excited to go back so she could see them again.
 Katie is now Aaron's helper since Zach is not at their school anymore.  She does a good job at making sure he is safe and that he gets to where he needs to be.  They enjoy being together and that helps them get even closer.
Aaron and Katie are also riding the bus this year and they really enjoy it.  They too are picked up at the top of the driveway so I can stand in the doorway and wave goodbye each day.  So far this year all 3 are doing well and liking school.  It will be a very busy year for them and lots more homework than they are all use to. We are looking forward to a fun year with lots of fun things to come.
