Today is the first day of the school year. It got quiet and lonely around here very quickly. I've had to turn to talk-radio and podcasts for some back ground noise.
Mon is back teaching part-time in 3rd grade and is enjoying her first first-day of school in 6 years.
Abby started 2nd grade and was quite nervous this morning about who she's gonna walk into the school with today. Which is funny since Abby has the ability to make friends at any time and any place.
Caleb woke up a little grumpy. He's more difficult to read than Abby. He wanted no part of wearing the nice clothes that Monica had set out. It was a chore to talk him into at least wearing some pants instead of athletic shorts. He's headed to a class with a teacher that he's heard is strict with her students. In my opinion, the more strict the teacher, the better Caleb has done. Maybe he's nervous for that or maybe he's nervous for his first baseball practice tonight with a new pony league team. Ether way, I'm very confident that he'll be happy tonight and excited for tomorrow. Both our kids are extremely well-rounded and thus far have been terrific in every challenge they've faced.
