Another year of school begins

As usual, I'm the only one excited that school started today. It must be because I care the most about education. I'm pretty incredible that way. I have grand hopes that this year will be wonderful, organized, peaceful and productive. Matt will be teaching his IB classes again along with a couple of level 2 classes. He is teaching his assigned "extra class" for the first semester. He will also take the year off from coaching lacrosse. Last year was incredibly stressful for him and we hope that freeing up some time in the spring will help him. Donovan is starting his first year of middle school. He couldn't be more excited. He starts the year off taking Spanish as his elective and playing the french horn in band. He will be taking the bus for the first time too. I feel pretty okay with him growing up just a little bit.

These three will still be at Hopkins. Cameron is excited to join the group of school-goers.

How is starting 4th grade with Ms. Wenberg

Nina is starting 2nd grade with Mrs. Wachter

Cameron is starting kindergarten with Mrs. Shamas-Brandt

Rex and I will hold down the fort. I will fill my time with adult education, storytime, sister lunches, working out at the gym and making our household run smoothly. Easier said than done, but I'm ready for it. Wish us all good luck!
