school year 2011-2012...




The beach is behind us and school, is upon us. Hard to think about reading, writing and arithmetic... or as Keaton says, Math - not even once (based on a meth ad here. Guess you can tell, his least favorite subject!)when the weather is going to be in the 90's for the week.

This morning, we headed out at 7am to start Keaton's 7th grade experience. The school has decided to integrate jr high with high school. Pretty sure this is a bad choice but time will tell. A quick trip to the local coffee shop to wait for the Gage to present to 3rd grade and Miss M to start her first day of 1st grade, gave us some breathing room and a bit of sugar.

By 9am, everyone was settled into their new digs for the year. Tonight, we will be Facetiming to see how the day went. The first day is so exciting, day 2 - a bit less. Good thing it is a short week.

Fall is on its way... It is a wonderful time of the year. My personal calandar starts September 1 and I was well aware of it on the Oregon Coast. What a way to start the year! It is a new beginning for all of us. Everyone is in school, DH will be retiring. New year, new changes and it all starts today...
