And the new year begins....

Well, Alex came home from school happy because he has Chad (a good boy from church) in his class and they decided they could do their homework together on the bus. I'm thinking... maybe this is good cause then it's done and he isn't getting into trouble on the bus, or.... he isn't learning anything just riding along Chad.

Jimi was excited because she was told by her teacher how GREAT she is and a perfect leader and so on and on and on, and we get to keep hearing all about it, we don't have many worries about her, she is a little social but her competitiveness will keep her grades sky high, because nobody can get better grades than her.

Sami, had a fight with her best friend the first day, but it was fixed by the next day (they always are) she was excited because an old friend that had moved away had moved back. She misses her teacher from last year but goes and visits her often, Sami is always good for a sweet smile and a hug, that's what she's known for at that school.

And Trever.... hmmmm!! He is happy because he got chosen for the calender kid the first week (that's a BIG deal) He has lots of friends in his class and loves his teacher, this is the second year he has had her. We love Ms. Olive!!! The poor boy is so tired though, he comes home from school and has only about an hour before he has to be dressed and ready for practice, yesterday he fell asleep on my bed before practice and then again in the car on the way there. We don't get home until at least 9pm, then eat dinner and 6:30am comes really fast. So far I haven't had problems getting them up but I know that will come in time. We have even had a few extra minutes in the morning for a little scripture study and a good family prayer to start our day off right.
