Back to School

And just like that, we're back on the merry-go-round with another school year starting! Hadley will be among the oldest kids at her school for her last year of elementary!! We went to Meet the Teacher night, and she was ecstatic to get the Reading teacher that she wanted (she has the best in-class library, according to H). Her math/science/homeroom teacher is a long-term sub in her first year, so hopefully there won't be too many bumps along the way there. She's still got her same interests, but now wants to be an architect, rather than an artist! She was counting down the minutes 'til she could be back in the classroom.

As for Owen, he clung to the last vestiges of summer for as long as he could, in denial of the upcoming structure and brain strain. When we went to Bobcat Camp, where we pick up his schedule and meet his teachers, he didn't want to actually meet his teachers, but he was happy to see some of his friends that he hadn't seen all summer. 

And we're trying out our first round of junior high athletics teams. Now that school has started, he's got early morning football practice and has to leave the house at 6am. Luckily, we're in a neighborhood carpool, so we only have to be presentable at that hour one morning a week! Go Bobcats!🏈
