I can't believe the last time I posted was June 27. It seems like summer has gone by in a flash. I think I would have missed it if I blinked! Now we are back in school and I can't help but wish I still had another summer first.
It has been a struggle making the decision where to send our kids for school. Last year we enrolled them in a local charter school called Excelsior Academy. I was excited because it is K-8 so I thought I would be able to keep my kids together through the end of Rebecca's junior high. I also wanted to try it because they allowed the kids to work according to their abilities and since Adrian and Charlie read ahead of their grade level I wanted them to be able to work on their level. It also gave Rebecca a chance to work on a higher level of math. Well, those were my reasons for putting them in Excelsior but I have so many more for taking them out...
Honestly, it's not the best blog topic, but I will say that these last few days being back at East Elementary and Tooele Junior High have been fun. In fact, we really forgot that school could be FUN!
I'll admit the first day of Junior High I cried half the day because I can't believe Rebecca is in Junior High and because Junior High terrifies me. I don't have good memories of Junior High. I've really had to work to put those bad memories behind me so that I can let Rebecca have her own new experience and I pray every day that it is a good one.
Well, so far so good...
Here's my 7th grader with my baby. They're twins twelve years apart.
Here she is looking very junior highish. We forgot how fun it is not to have to wear a uniform:)
Here are my East kids all ready to go on their first day. They have awesome teachers and lots of friends that remember them from a year and a half ago. It's like going home. Such a relief!
I had to post this because it's such a cute picture of my boys. We were waiting for Shari to come out so we can all walk. I love being able to walk to school again!
I hope this school year doesn't go by as fast as the summer did because frankly, I need more time with my babies and it seems to be slipping away.

Love! Love! Love! And (Charlie) frankly, I need more time with your babies too!!
I think you made the right decision judging by the smiles on everyone's face. I can't believe she is in Junior High either. Those little boys are growing way too fast!
