The First Day of School

Today was Andrew's first day at Benicia Middle School. He started the 7th grade.

He walked there since we live right next door. Sooo convenient. Thankfully, it went really well. He was nervous. We were nervous. But I am very proud of him for being so prepared. Andrew really values being early to appointments. So he was up early and made sure he got to school 15 minutes ahead of time.

He has four goals for this year:
1. Do well academically
2. Make the basketball team
3. Glorify God
4. Don't make a fool of himself
I don't know what's more impressive, what his goals are or the fact that he even has goals!

Matt started up another year of home school - 4th grade! He was very concerned about how Andrew would do at public school. I think he was just as relieved if not more that Andrew made it home safe!

Emery started 3rd grade here at home as well. She has really excelled at reading this summer. All in all, it was a great day for the boys and girl, Teacher Mom and even Principal Dad!
