School Days are here again!

Holley (4th gr) and Scott (3rd gr) 8-25-08

Well, we are getting back into the swing of school again!! Macie just started 7th grade this year. (Boy I feel older this year! A middle schooler!!) She attends Boerne Middle School North and is active in the band (flute) and has joined the cross country running team (UGH!! It's HOT!! )They practice after school four days a week until around 515 or so!! Good Grief!! Holley is a 4th grader at Fabra Elementary and is still a member of the Boerne Gymnastics competetive team. She is a level 5 gymnast this year and gives mom a mini-heart attack each time she swings up to the high bar!! Scott (no longer wishing to be called Scotty) is a third grader at Fabra. He plays baseball and flag football and as you can see in the first picture, towers over his older sister (Holley) by about 6 inches and could probably bench press her, he weighs a good 40 lbs more than she does too! He is actually standing downhill on the driveway in that picture and he still towers over her. (Can you guess who he takes after?)(LOL) Last but not least is little Allie or Allie-gallie as I call her. She is four now!!( She'll be 5 on Oct. 30th) My how the time flies!! She goes to two different schools this year. She attends SHEEP (St.Helena's Early Learning Program) on Mon. and Wed. (at our home church, St. Helena's Episcopal) and goes to the Methodist Church's Mother's Day Out (in our case it should be Meme's Day Out) on Tues. and Thurs. She loves school and is excited every day to see her teachers Ms. Viva Mae (SHEEP) and Ms. Betty (MDO). Time is going much too quickly!! I'm already thinking that next year I will have my last Kindergartener EVER!! BOO-HOO!! But I will wait 'till we're closer to freak out!!

School started Monday, August 25,2008. Here are pictures of the Fab Four on their first day! We are past the years of wanting Mom to walk us to our class the first day so I had to settle for grabbing a few quick pictures on the driveway while they waited for the bus. At least Allie still wanted me to walk with her for her first day of school!! She waits very excitedly in the morning at the end of the driveway for the bus to come to pick up "the big kids". She takes great delight in informing me that next year she will get get to ride the "big kid bus too!!" I just hope I'll be able to manage to convince her to let me take her in to her Kindergarten class the first day!! I"m off to play taxi-cab driver for now. Take care , Love, Stacey
