School Begins

I'm sure I say it all the time but school seems to start earlier and earlier. This year we have five boys in two school districts and four different schools and it's working.

Tristan is a freshman in High School! Oh my! We are so proud of him. He is in the International Baccalaureate Diploma program which is amazing. He is doing so well with a crazy class schedule of Biology, Chemistry, History, Geometry, Honors English, Honors English, Honors Geography, Food for Today, and International Studies. He is determined to do a good job this year he has been working so hard and is so on top of everything. It is awesome to watch him grow and become so academically responsible this year. Tristan hopes to study in Austria or Germany someday and with this degree it will make it easier.

Colin is in eighth grade this year. He is off to a great start. It has been a bit of an adjustment going to school by himself as Tristan has moved to another school. So far Colin has been doing great with his academics and really likes his teachers. They are challenging him which he loves. Just this week Colin has started basketball. He is very excited to play this year. He had gotten pretty good at the end of last season so we look forward to watching him this year.


Liam started fourth grade! There is a huge growth that happens from third to fourth grade. It's amazing to see how he is starting to turn from a little kid to a big kid. As always our social butterfly loves school. We are so happy we got him into the dual language program it has been absolutely the best path for him. Today he participated in a Science Competition at the Zoo. I cannot wait to see how the rest of the year goes for this guy.



Declan is beyond excited to be in kindergarten! He wakes up everyday asking what day it is then tells me what he gets to do at school. He likes "painting" (art) the best but I really like all of it he will tell us. He says he is not learning Spanish but he is already slipping in Spanish in many things he tells us about school. I love how the dual language program works.


Grayson thinks he is a big kid too. He started preschool for speech this year. He goes Monday through Thursday afternoons. I chose to keep Fridays open for just us to hangout. Grayson is doing so well at school. He shows how the sounds are supposed to be and makes signs to remember. He is having fun playing with other kids and learning at the same time. I love to see him bopping his way into school each day and running out to me at the end of class.



It looks like it'll be a great year from High School to preschool we are looking forward to it all.
