Off they go!

The new school year is upon us.  We have:

A sixth grader.  Zach loves basketball, music, and sleeping in. He plans on a career in the NBA.  He is very conscientious about his appearance and thinks his braces are dumb.  He is excited about cross country but not about band.  It's going to be a busy year in middle school!

A fifth grader.  Tyler is happy to start school and likes his teacher already.  He is looking forward to making a name for himself instead of being "Zach's little brother."  He loves reading and will start piano and art lessons and news crew this week.  Tyler wants to be an architect when he grows up.

A kindergartener.  Gavin couldn't be happier about starting school, especially because he gets to each lunch there.  He is excited to make friends and learn how to read better.  When he grows up he wants to be a fireman or a policeman so he can help people be safe.

Preschool starts after Labor Day for Lexi, at which point Kate and I will have 7 1/2 hours a week when we are alone together.  Pretty crazy!
