It has been really crazy around here lately! Both the kids started school on Monday (August 30th). The transition has been a lot smoother than I anticipated! They have been really tired in the morning, but I am hoping that will work itself out soon.
Whitney started Kindergarten! I can hardly believe it! Has it really been that long already? Is she really old enough to be in Kindergarten? Can I freeze these moments, please???
Whitney goes to daycare in the morning for Kindergarten Enrichment care. She plays and has class time there, then has lunch. She gets on the bus at daycare and rides the bus to her school, Richland Elementary. She is in Mrs. Beason's class. One of the boys that lives close by to us is in her class too! They also get to ride the bus home together! Whitney has been enjoying her school experience so far. We hope this continues for the next 13 years!
Blaine started 8th grade! I think I may faint. 8th grade??? Seriously? I was really worried about Blaine's transition to Strayer Middle school, but he has done amazing! He loves every day, likes his classes, has made LOTS of friends and even reports that he has a "girlfriend"! Oh my!
I am so glad that both my children are having a good start to this academic year! I can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us....
OK, that was about a month ago!!
I wanted to add pictures, but for some reason, with the upgrade of my computer software, my camera is no longer compatible...so no pictures this time..
In other family news....I have been SOOOOO busy at work the past two months! I think I may actually be getting a break soon, but that will be another week at least!
We have been to the Bloomsburg Fair this year and it did not rain!! YAY! We are looking forward to going to a pumpkin patch and taking a hayride soon...it is that time of year! Joe's company, Kelly Automotive, gave all the employees passes to Dorney Park for a day a couple of weekends ago. That was SO much fun! Perfect weather and NO lines!
Whitney is enjoying Kindergarten and has recently started Daisy Girl Scouts. She was chosen as one of the girls that will carry the flag in the flag ceremony at Investiture on October 25th. She is so excited!
Blaine tried out for a special concert chorus. He didn't make it, but he gave it a shot, so that shows courage! He is doing well with his grades and is having a good time in school...we are very proud of him.
That is about it for an update this time around...I hope to have pictures, next time!
