School Began....

Off to another year of books, homework and running around! Lyndsey began the 7th grade last Tuesday and James began pre-school last Thursday. Lyndsey is taking art again this year and her teacher just entered one of her projects from 6th grade into an art contest! Cross your fingers for a win!! She is trying out for track, so hopefully we will have some meets to go. She is a quick runner so I feel she will do wonderfully. Lyndsey also would like to pursue her swimming (she was on a swim team this summer through our neighborhood pool). She did really well for her first time and loved the competition. So...looks like swim lesson and preparation for more swim team!

James' first day of school had a rough start but ended on a positive note. His teacher, Mrs Newman, said he had his ups and downs all day but once they were settled into their next task, he was fine. Thank goodness he also has all his friends from last year in his class. He has a little girl-friend, Lawren, who his a very mother-hen type girl, so she took care of him while he was upset. How cute! I would have loved to seen that. Now we will just have to see how Tuesday goes when I just drop him off with the teacher at the door...no more walking him in!
