School Daze

We are still alive!  We had a great summer, and I hope to get the highlights documented.  Jonathan started the 6th grade and is officially in middle school now.  Jessica is in her second year of high school.

Jonathan rides to and from school everyday on his bike.  This is a big deal, and Mom was really nervous.  To ease my nerves, a couple of days before school started, we took a family bike ride to the school.  We discussed his route, and practiced riding with a heavy backpack and using a bike lock.  After three weeks of school, he is now a pro!

Jonathan's favorite color is green, so he made sure to wear a green shirt on the first day of school.  He is color blind, but it seems to be the only color that he knows.  That must be why it is his favorite.

Jessica was all ready for her first day.  She is taking child development and dance class this year, and is loving both classes.  I think history is her least favorite class.
