High school? WHAT?

Sent the kids off to school yesterday. Ninth grade for Reed and seventh grade for Amy.


I can hardly believe we have a high schooler, and Amy's mid-way through middle school. Time flies!

Amy was super excited to get back to school, especially since we missed the school's event where kids could bring in their supplies and locate their classrooms. She has friends in several classes and her teachers seem nice, so far so good.

Reed was nervous about the jump to high school. I asked him what he was worried about and he said "I'm afraid I'll mess up" - just a general kind of anxiety. I assured him it really isn't much different from middle school and he'd handle it just fine. And so far so good, other than issues with the bus (which showed up 10 minutes before it was supposed to, and is very overcrowded). Classes seem okay (other than getting a writing assignment in English on the first day) and he's got friends in a few classes and "the whole gang" at lunch one day.

Whew. Summer was a short one, doesn't seem like it could possibly be here already!
