School Began

Christopher and Matthew started school this week it was a little tiring all week because we had to get up around 6 o'clock every morning to get Christopher to the bus. Today was the first day he went by himself David has been walking him to the light at the corner next to the Elementary School where the bus picks up at 7:05.

Both boys are enjoying their teacher's and having not problem getting up in the morning, not like their Mom and Dad.

We had company Wednesday my Sister Annette and her husband Charlie stayed with us until Thursday we had fun talking of old times and hearing of what is going on with the family and the news that each of us are going to be new grandparents. Yes you hared right Jennifer is going to have her third due March 31st. We hear RJ is very excited.

Next week I start back working lunch and noon duty at the Elementary. I did this later in the year last year and they asked if I would come back for this school year. No picture taken this week. But the boys have not changed much in a couple of weeks.

Summer trips are over

We are back from all the trips we took the last two weeks has I said last time we went to Sacramento and Christopher went to baseball camp. He enjoyed the time on the field with the River Cats players and learning new tips for baseball.

This is the view from the hotel we stayed in Sacrament so we didn't have to get up early each morning. We parked the car and could walk to the ball park which is just over the bridge in the picture and took Matthew around old town and saw some sites.

The first morning we took Matthew to the replica of the Nina which Christopher Columbus sailed. There are four people who sail this ship at a time all over the world. They are volunteer's and change out all but the cook who is a 80 year old women who has been sailing on the ship of 8 years.

Old town Sacramento is filled with many old time world eras to see like this one room school house. Matthew volunteered for this photo of school teacher.

On the last day of Baseball camp we went to a River Cats game they won the game.

Last week we took the last of our summer trips before school starts this Monday the eighteenth. Took no pictures because I always forgot the camera. We spent a very relaxing time at the mountain condo and had fun swimming and riding the train in the old town of James town. Back to the work of cleaning house and getting the boys ready for next week.
