back to school

issy started kindergarten, hunter began 6th grade and emma is in 4th this year at wasatch peak academy. they almost look like triplets in their uniforms. the kids are enjoying their school so far. hunter is in honors math and literacy, emma is in the highest levels of math and literacy for her grade and they all get to take spanish, computers, pe and music. issy hasn't been placed in the power chair since her incident the first week of school, so things are looking up.
the mornings are busy getting all three out the door with a baby under foot, but somehow we manage to get there each morning by 8:10. no tardy's yet! i have even continued my homemade hot breakfasts, which means i have to get up before the kids. now that william is older, it has been a lot easier to get out bed before the kiddos. however, i am pretty exhausted by bedtime. next week we start a few after-school activities, so things are able to get really crazy. i always love back to school, but miss the lazy dog days of summer. happy schooling!!

Glad the kids are enjoying school! That's great that they are happy. I love their uniforms. Don't know why more schools don't adopt the policy. Its horrible to spend so much money on clothes & to watch kids become indoctrinated with "fashion." Plus uniforms are cute & smart looking. I love them.
I have also found myself exhausted since school has started, geez back to 10'oclock bed time for ME!!!

Love it. I miss those faces. Give them each a HUGE, GIGANTIC, lovey-dovey hug from me!
Plus I had tears streaming down my cheeks when I saw that Moscow sign post. I miss it. Glad things are routine for you, can't wait to hear more!!

Hi Ashley--

The kids' school sounds really great. I wish you all the best as you settle in Salt Lake. We really miss Utah!
