Seems only a few days ago that the 2009-10 school year ended, summer began, and Layla asked to write the end of school year post. *whistling* She started the post a couple times, but never finished it. In lieu, I’m posting the video she did for her math class at the end of the school year.
I think I hear Justin Beiber’s voice. Moving on.
But summer’s over and the school year has officially begun. Like yesterday. Which means Emma has started her final year in elementary school (still find 4th grade to be an odd breaker, but whatever); Layla is excited to be a 6th grader; and Speed, as a sophomore, is getting into the more difficult classes like, um, dance? Oh yeah, Madysen’s a freakin’ senior. No one is prepared for that.
As school starts so do all the activities: ballet, jazz, basketball, gymnastics, tennis, and piano for Emma (seriously?); at least seven dance classes (and piano) for Layla; football and possibly school soccer for Speed (did I mention he’s taking a dance class?); and a variety of social and community service projects for Madysen. Still feels weird to say no soccer for Madysen. It will be busy and hopefully fun.
So with the start of the new school year comes everyone’s favorite–first day of school pictures.
In the living room where everyone is comfortable
And on the front porch where Madysen and Speed fear being spotted by passersby
Amazing how much they change in a year.
And with the new school year, I’m updating the blog. That’s right–new theme, new background, and a new header. Woo-hoo! Of course, the header I wanted to use wouldn’t fit, but I’m okay with that.
The new header:
What I wanted to use:
I like the new look of the site.
And holy crap Speed is tall.
