Back to School

The kids started back to school on July 27th after a way too short summer break. I sure do love the extra time off they have during the year, but the summer is just too short. Kristen is a junior this year. Sydney is having her first high school year - she is a Freshman. They go to Basha High. They have lunch together and love being in school together. Haley is in the 6th grade at CTA Freedom school. Nellie is in Kindergarten at Weinberg Elementary school. She is in the special Ed program. It was really hard for me to have to put her in special ed but she is just too far behind that she wouldn't be able to keep up in a regular class. The bus picks her up right at our door. She loves the bus ride and loves school so far. I was afraid Sydney would have a hard time with the early schedule - last year she didn't have to get up until 8:00 and this year she gets up around 5:00. She is doing great. I was also worried about Nellie because she is a late night owl, but she is doing great.
