We survived another summer!!!

Here are the boys on their first day of school. Yvette left before I could get her picture.

Gabriel is in fourth grade and has the same teachers that Christopher had for the last 2 years. He is very excited because he gets to change teachers and classroom after lunch. He has moved over to the middle school wing of the school and is across the hall from Christopher's homeroom and the boys see each other throughout the day.

Christopher is in 6th grade and changes classes all day, preparing for junior high next year. He loves his homeroom teacher because he is very funny and Christopher loves anything or anyone who is funny.

The summer went surpisingly fast. We didn't get to do a vacation this year, but no one seemed to mind. The boys were able to stay home with Valerie quite a bit and they liked that. The week before school started I took the boys to the Arizona Science Museum and they really enjoyed that.

Yvette is in 8th grade and spent the summer going to the Boys and Girls Club. They did lots of field trips and activities and she really enjoyed it. Summers are hard when both parents are working, but our kids are great and make it pretty easy for us...they are not complainers and they enjoy being home.

I think they'll all have a great school year.
