School Starts!

School started today!  It’s hard to believe that we now have a Senior in High School, a Sophomore in High School, and a Middle Schooler, along with one in Elementary!  I think Ben is actually pretty excited to get mom all to himself now.

Sarah and Brittany took off first this morning, but not with out pictures of all three girls together…

Next, it was Kirstyn’s turn.  She went to school with a group of her friends that she occasionally hangs out with, who live in our neighborhood…

Zach went next.  He is SO excited to be in 2nd grade, and he loves his new teacher.  We hope that he will be respectful and obedient in his class this year (that he learned a bunch of stuff from the issues he had last year).  🙂

I wasn’t there when they left, but I’m sure that Ben gave a big sigh of relief when everyone was gone and he had the house all to himself!  🙂  Best of luck this year in school, everyone!

Seminary Kick-Off!

Today Sarah and Brittany had their Seminary kick-off meetings for the new year!  They are SO excited!  The homes that they will be meeting at are very close together and does not require too much driving.  That way, they were able to separate the classes to have one for Fr/So, and one for Jr/Sr.  The teachers are wonderful!  Brittany has the two that taught them last year (Sarah is very jealous).  Sarah’s teachers sound like they will be wonderful as well.  Turns out that one of them is a Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships for the Chicago Bulls.  🙂  I’m hoping that they go to a Bulls game this year and he needs help from parents!  🙂

The girls will be studying the Old Testament this year.  They aren’t looking forward to getting up at 4:30am to be at Seminary by 6am, but they know how important it is and are excited to do it.  We are very proud of them for their desire to do what’s right!  People can’t believe the fact that they get up so early to study religious “stuff.”
