New School Year

Countdown has begun to the first day of school. I have been staying late at school trying to get my classroom and lessons ready for this Monday. We had 'Meet the Teacher' last night and 17 of my future students showed up! That's pretty amazing, usually only ten or eleven show up.

The boys also start on Monday. Steven is going into 4th and David into 8th. This will be David's first year in public school. Kevin and I are trying to make a smooth transition for when he goes into high school. We're letting him play football this year. I don't think he's going to get much playing time - he went yesterday to get his equipment and gym locker and he told me last night that most of the other players were taller and bigger. They were talking about what they did over the summer to get ready for football season - Timed sprints, working out. Now ask if David did timed sprints and worked out - umm . . . no.

We were saved from Hurricane Dean - it stayed on a west movement course and went into Mexico. Hurricane season isn't over yet though. Almost. Hopefully there will not be anymore hurricane scares!
