Our cat died this week


She was old.
She was here when we bought the house.
The dog liked her. They slept together as if they had grown up together.
Callie dug in under the house and never woke up.

It Almost Time For School Again!

Can you believe it!

Poor Logan is starting to freak out. He did SO well last year at public school. It was his first time. He finished 5th grade. He got the help he needed from the special ed department. He made a few friends. It all worked out. But now He will be going to the Middle School and his "routine" will be drastically different! So the panic is setting in. And the attitude. Poor guy! We keep telling him his friends will be the same and so will his helpers. Just different teachers and a different building. Deven will across the parking lot. Deven was in the Middle School last year. Just ask him, he knows where everything is. :) The people are super nice there. BUT these words aren't helping him LOL. Orientation/schedule pickups are this Thursday.

Deven! on the other hand has been ready to go back for over a month now, Hah! Mr. Socialite.... He will be at the High School this year. He is excited High School yea! Freshman boo! (bottom of heap.) LOL His words in jest. 8th graders were the "big guys on campus" now the 9th grader are the "little guys" he was speculating. Truely he will never be a "little guy". He is already 6ft 4 and 253 lbs at 14yrs old.

Then there is Derek....
He wanted to be an Air Force Pilot. Of high altitude planes. He recently found out that will not be possible. He has asthma. and they won't let him be a navigator for one either :( Now he is looking into Helicoptors ! Looks like he is Homeschooling his last year of school this year too.
Derek has added a few classes to his list. We'll try to get them added in.
