Grade 7!

The first day of grade 7. He would only allow me to take three pictures of him. (I think it's going to start costing me money again for photos). It is hard to get a picture of him with his eyes open because as soon as he sees the camera he starts blinking at warp speed. You can see from the pics where he had a few teeth pulled this summer, to make room. You can also see how foggy it was here this morning. I took two more hours of vacation time this morning so I could be home to see my boy off. Today was my first day back to work after 22 days vacation, and man was it tough. Connor weighed his back pack, it weighed 17 pounds!

GRADE 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A few tears again when Sarah got on the bus this morning. She thinks I am ridiculous, but I can't help it. It is grade 10 after all. When I think I only have her home for three more years, I could start crying on the spot. I feel for you Paulette. She still has not realized what a great person she is and that she has so much to offer the world. Anyone who comes in contact with her during their lives will be better for it. (okay, so I may be a little biased). Connor does not start back till tomorrow....teachers needed an inservice today. (sorry to my teacher friends) but being the first day does look bad. Sarah did let me take these pictures, but I had to make sure I was way out of sight when the bus came. Apparently I am embarrassing. What's up with that?


She'd had enough by the time I took this one!
