Well we survived the first week of school. Abbie started the 9th grade this year. Weston joined his sister at the junior high. He is in 7th grade this year. Trevor is starting his last year as an elementary student. The day went well for all of them. Abbie was happy to find that her lunch hour is full of old friends. She was excited to return to school. She told me that this year there were not any scary 9th graders. I informed her that was because she was now one of the big scary 9th graders. Weston seemed to like school also. He was nervous even though he would never admit to it. I know this is true because he asked Abbie to meet him at his locker for lunch. He ended up doing just fine. He opened his locker found all of his classes. I hope that being at a new school will be a fresh start for Weston. Trevor was not real excited about having Mrs. Maughan for a teacher. That was Weston's teacher and I think he had heard of Weston's troubles and was a little nervous about how much of what Weston said about her would be true. I how ever loved her and thought she was great with Weston. By the end of school Trevor informed me that he really liked her. I was not surprised she is just the kind of teacher Trevor likes. She is calm and fun yet strict and expects a lot from her class. I really like her a lot. I am glad that school is back in. Not because the kids are back in school and I have some time with out them. I just like that it gives us a little more structure. I like routines and summer always feels crazy to me...fun just busy and schedules are never kept. I guess that is life with a family the size of ours. It is fun having a big family but very busy. I love every minute of it.
