The Journey Begins


Chance had braces put on his upper teeth today. He has embarked on a long journey that will involve many orthodontic visits. He was a real trooper today getting them on, but is starting to feel sore already. I'm sure tomorrow will be when it really hits. He's really bummed about not being able to eat Skittles, Candy Corn, and popcorn. He was really psyched, though, about getting his own blog entry and has a picture, proudly showing the "Carolina Blue" bands he picked to go around the brackets. I told him that one day he would be glad he did this while he was young - he is questioning my wisdom right now.

First Day of School

















We, at the Holmes Academy for the Gifted and Talented, finally kicked off our second homeschooling year yesterday. (I would have put up the pics last night but was totally exhausted!) We didn't have new lunch boxes or backpacks, but instead wore togas as we continued learning about the Romans. We're looking forward to a fun year of school. Colton had his first "official" day of school as well as he began preschool. It should be a challenge to try and juggle, 5th grade, 2nd grade, and preschool, not to mention Addison in the mix as well. Say a prayer for us!
