Back to school time - junior year for our guy

Cam went out for cross-country

Our Cameron was on the track and field team last spring at Grant High School. He was not on any of the running squads but threw discus, shot-put, and javelin. Sometime during that season he decided that he was going to join the cross-country team. They started training three times a week right after school got out. He's been running all summer and had his first official meet in the end of August. He's competed in one other and had to sit out one because of an ankle issue. But  he's back up to speed and should be running with his team and showing that GRANT GRIT for their home meet this week.

He's got a great coach and staff to work with. He seems to really enjoy the camaraderie and the challenge of being a runner.

Henry-boy was all set!

These days every school student is encouraged to bring supplies to share with the classroom for the entire year. This was right up Henry's alley. He's quite the planner ;0)
He wrote down the first day of school on his own calendar. But he found out that the Kindergarteners didn't start until after Labor Day. He took that news pretty well and enjoyed the long weekend with his family.
Getting spruced up for school

Genevieve needed a trimming on her hair before school started. A week before I took the girls to Great Clips to get that done.
G'vieve loves the spa treatment of getting her hair shampooed and styled. It's quite the treat. These two have even set up a salon in their yard and do shampoos and mani-pedis for their little friends in the neighborhood.

Har and I stopped over there on the evening of Labor Day. I took a pic of Wyatt after he changed the calendar to September. He and Genevieve and Danika all take the bus to school and back.

I like that they have a bunch of kids in their cul-de-sac to be busing with. I can hardly believe that they are in fifth, third and second grades this year.

FIRST DAY PHOTOS!

Cherise sent me these pictures of Henry at his school and in his classroom on the first day of Kindergarten.

 Alyssa text messaged a picture of Rowan on his first day of first grade.

And this one of all of the kids on Kate's first day of preschool for this year.

He told me as he got out of the truck,"You don't have to take a picture!" 

Oh, Cameron! Yes I do.

Milestones like these are photo worthy. 

Blessings on your junior year, my boy.

"Love you... have a good day!"
