Happy Day!
Yeah--Today was the first day of school!
I love my kids dearly but I always feel a sense of relief when the first day of school rolls around. Both boys were up bright and early and surprisingly raring to go. I expected Adam to be a bit nervous, he usually is about new situations and today was his first day of high school. Most of his friends were gone or in summer school so he hasn't seen much of many of them over the summer so I suppose any nervousness he might have been feeling was overridden by the anticipation of hanging out with his buddies.
Today was also the first day of classes for Stephanie. She loves her advisor and was excited to get all four classes she was hoping for this semester. I couldn't help but laugh when she was shocked at needing to buy 13 books and how much that added up to even though she got all used. She says the Art History book weighs more than she does!
She's taking French 201, Art History and the American Experience which is a literature course required for her major. She's getting the required writing seminar out of the way.
Both boys are taking Spanish, English, Geometry, Biology, and PE. Andrew, however, is a year ahead of Adam in Spanish. History is also required and Andrew's got World History while Adam's requirement is Geography and World Cultures which is a new class this year.

Ya know, I remember a snapshot of your two sons with J.G. Hertzler, and whenever ya talk about 'em, I keep thinkin' about them being kids, not teenagers in high school.
Of course, I have the same problem with my nephews - I keep rememberin' 'em as toddlers, instead of elementary age kids.

Those two cute little boys are now young men. Andrew's 15 now and over six feet. Adam's a year younger but rapidly catching up to his brother in the height department.
