School Time and Summer Recap

This summer has been fun but crazy. We have had a lot of activities and events.  Ben started a new position at work a couple days ago.  He is a cook now and is really enjoying it so far.  He still gets to interact with the boys, but gets to play in the kitchen too.  Morgan starts 8th grade and goes up to the middle school this year.  She is in Honors Math and just finished her first season of swim team.  Carter is in 7th ans is in Honors English and Math.  He also received his Star rank in the boy scout program, so we have about a year for his eagle. Logan starts 4th grade.  She has the same teacher Morgan had and is very excited. Ben starts 3rd and even he is excited.  We are hoping it carries a little while. Little Ben was baptized last Saturday and after my concerns about his readiness, he showed more excitement and understanding that day than I have seen from him in a long time.  He also started scouts and can't wait to go each week. Balian is starting kindergarten and has the same teacher Carter and Logan had.  He's just excited about everything and school is no different.  I started my term in July and have a timeline of courses that I am trying to get through.  If I want to student teach in Jan, like I have signed up for, I have to get in gear.  It's only 20 papers by Sept. 1st, and I have about 12 left.  Ben is starting school too.  He was accepted into a program that will pay for his Bachelors in Special Education.  Classes start in soon, which is how the cooking position came into play. Carter chose not to participate in anything this season and we are both excited about the break.  Morgan is only on 1 team, Logan is choosing 1 dance, Ben and Balian haven't selected anything yet but when wrestling or flag football come around they might change their minds.  I am looking forward to a good schedule and a lot of alarms on my phone, well maybe not the alarms.  Our love till next time!
