Luke's first day of Junior High at Vista Heights Middle School started on Monday, August 22, 2011. His excitement woke him first at 2:00AM, then again at 6:30AM.
There was someone sitting at the bus stop and Luke had to check to see if it was his friend Max, which it was, so that meant it was safe for Luke to head up and wait. The other two getting on at this stop were two girls from our ward - that would have been a disaster to have to wait with one of them! As they drove off we saw (yes we were all watching from our driveways) the girls sitting at the front of the bus, and the boys at the back- typical.
He's going to be towering over most of the 7th and some of the 8th graders!
Bridget and Will's first day of 5th and 2nd grade started today, August 23rd 2011. Bridget is in Mr. Rasbands class, a new teacher we are excited to get to know. And Will is in Mrs. Larsen's class, who taught Bridget in 3rd grade. She is one of the most fabulous teachers I've ever met! When you talk to her she makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world! We are so excited for Will to have her. She has three big bouquets of balloons outside her classroom with a sign that says, "Up with second grade." On one classroom wall she has huge cutout drawings of all the UP movie characters with some sayings.
