First Day of School

Os, Wills, Ems, Lils on the first day of school

Our little Os is in preschool and very happy to get back to the grind. His little broken leg did not stop him from getting around. He is a trooper on his crutches and can keep up with all the kids. He loves his teacher and his friends. He can write spell and write his name and count to 20. Smart boy

Our Wills is in the first grade and we all know what that means. . . school all day long. However, he is very happy and loving the best teacher in the whole wide world. She motivates by the treasure table and he loves getting his timberwolf bucks. He tries very hard. He got an "O" on his poem today and was very proud. He always wants to do his best.



Emma entered the third grade which means TIMES TABLE!!! She is proud to have passed her twos and is almost passing her threes. She is a very good reader and speller. She is always prepared for school and is self motivated. This year she is competing in the book challenge. She has already read the first book Charlottes Web.



Lily is in the fifth grade and is one of the big kids on campus. This year, Lily Rules. It is her last year at the school. This year Lily wants to try out for basketball and track(only fifth graders get to compete. she has been keeping up her grades and has been trying very hard to improve her lap times in PE.


Finally, I have my Mitch: King of the Mountain Mitch. Mitchy the Kid, my Me Mitch, Mitchmiester, Honorable Mitchy Son started college this year and seems to be enjoying it. He says that there are less distractions in college, but he likes high school better (probably because there are more distractions. . .) However, he is doing well in class and even stood up to some people in his sociology class that were complaining about our American culture stating that how can you all complain about something and not see yourselves as part of the problem?, inciting a"Good point Mitchell," from his professor. He is working 16 - 20 hours a week and likes his job. We are proud of our boy who has become a man.

Too he is voting this year . . . ARE YOU?
