a promising start and a new room

First day of school...the day dawned sunny, fitting in with the feelings of hope and expectation.

This year, we can walk to school. What a treat! Rachel found the 4th grade line and we waited together to go in and meet her teacher. Josiah was in charge of school supplies and comic relief.

Getting settled in her class. Her teacher, Mrs. H., is young(er than me), full of energy, and a great match for Rachel as far as we can tell. Rachel's sitting right next to a former classmate from her old school. She was one of 5 new students in her class this year. So far she loves it and comes home every day with a smile.

Micah running his first cross country meet. He was looking good at the halfway point... but struggled a bit near the end. Three of his teammates ran him to the finish line. Go Parkside! Micah loves Jr. High, especially the a la carte lunch choices. His three main teachers are all young(er than me) and he seems to like them.

Josiah's new room, painted his favorite color. It's a huge transformation from the tan walls Micah had. And we added airplanes!

Congrats to Micah on his first race! CC is still my favorite sport to watch. I get all giddy when we get to watch our nieces and nephew run.

Love Josiah's room color. :)
