A Week Down.......

Last Monday; July 18th Caelin and Jace started school. Yes on modified year round school starts the middle of July, but when the temperature is so hot it is just as well they are in school. Come September and October we will enjoy cooler weather and a 3 week break.

Caelin is now in the 5th grade (holy cow where did the time go? I would swear I was just volunteering in Kindergarten) She has Ms. Condley as her teacher this year (our first choice) and Caelin has had nothing but good to say about her. Because of the overcrowding at Sycamore the 5th grade classrooms are all over on the Middle School campus. I was a little concerned at first but I think it will be just fine. Next year it will be Middle School for Caelin.

Jace has just started 3rd grade and has Mrs. Irvin (who is Ms. Condley's younger sister), Jace is thrilled to have her (also our first choice). Caelin and Jace get to be reading buddies every other Friday (fun for them to be together, maybe). He says he really likes Mrs. Irvin and class has been fun, hope that it stays that way and the newness doesn't wear off too soon.

Their first day of school Jeff was off work and he drove them to school in the Corvette, I am sure they felt like a million bucks whether or not they would admit it, I sure would have if it had been me.



We are excited for another year at Sycamore and the great teachers the kids once again have gotten. Best of luck Caelin and Jace, may you both get straight A's, stay out of trouble, and most of all enjoy your year.

I would be smiling in that car too! Jace looks so OLD! Caelin is as cute as always. Hope you get a chance to get involved juggling the other 2 on your hip :)

They look happy and it sounds like you guys are off to a great start of a new school year! Can't believe our summer is almost over as well and we don't get that three week break in October :( Seems like it has been a whirlwind of a summer!
