One down 169 to go.....

The First Day of School..... ahhh... new books smell so nice, a new box of crayons, new pencils, good attitudes, excitement about what is to come- then, lesson one. Wow! It sure is a big book and still 169 lessons to go.
As most of you know I home school our two youngest children and our oldest son goes to boarding school. Zach leaves next Monday but we needed to go ahead and get started with the other two. So, Hannah began 2nd grade and Justin started 8th grade. Hannah thinks second grade is so easy because on the first day she had to count to 12 and say her ABC's which she has known how to do since before she ever started school. I explained to her that the first couple of weeks of school is usually review but right now she is happy. She thinks she should just skip to third grade. I know she will learn a lot this year. It is amazing to watch her learn and grow and be a part of that.



We always take the kids pictures the first day of school so that they can see how big they are and how much they changed from the year before.
