1st Day of School

We now have a 7th grader and a Freshman in our house.  The day started quite early as we did pictures at 5:45am and then they walked out the door for the bus at 6:05am.  I am thankful they are on the same school bus this year in case anything happens. Both said the day went well, they liked all their teachers, and athletics is looking like their favorite class, ha!  Of course we are going crazy with school supply lists, fees for classes, lunch money, forms for signatures, etc.  With both of them at new schools this year (Caelin at Tomball Junior High and Cade at Tomball High), there was a little bit of added stress regarding new buildings and making sure you know where to go.  Thankfully, the campuses had several opportunities to walk the campus and find classes ahead of time.  We are excited to see them both mature this year and excel in their electives.  Will this be the year they actually use a planner?  Will this be the year we dont argue about homework?  Will this be the year they start to understand why teachers do the things they do?  We shall see, lol.  May this year be a year of spiritual, social, emotional, and academic growth all around!
