Summer vacation has official come to an end. Ryan is in 9th grade this year! I can't believe it. He still goes to the Jr. High, but is officially in High School! In Moscow the Jr. High is from 7-9th grade and the High School is from 10th-12th.In usual Ryan style, he was up early and out the door in a flash. He is meeting some of his buddies for breakfast at school and will pick up his schedule before classes start. I just had a few minutes to snap this photo of him in front of our "big" tree. We have been taking 1st day of school photos in front of this tree since we moved here - it will be fun to get them all out and do a layout from the past years till now.
Jared is not going to school this semester. He is applying for Spring semester at Narapo University, in Boulder CO. He also had an interview yesterday at Waldenbooks - he has some other applications out and is working on getting a job. Keep your fingers crossed! We need every penny we can scrape up to pay for the cost of this school!
Naropa is a PERFECT school for him. HOw cool is it that the Kerouac fan might go to a school where there's a Kerouac festival every year. That's awesome, Karen. Well worth the money...such a progressive school...and on the more liberal side of course, which will be good.
ReplyDeleteKaren - great picture! What a nice tradition you have started in front of the tree! - Wendy T.
ReplyDeleteLots of big things going on with you right now. Baby boy in high school and it sounds like your other son has made some great choices for his future. How exciting and emotional it all is! Hang in there mom... you've done a great job with them you know!!
ReplyDeleteLove the big tree! I remember the first day of school pictures. Some of them from when I was a kid are so hideous! I look at them and can't but say "What was I thinking wearing THAT?!" I still love them all though. I better pick out a good place for our first day of school pictures. CJ's first day is Tuesday. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteJared - thats so cool. I had never heard of this place before so I just googled it.... and I want to go!! This uni looks like the most wonderful nourishing place. It will be such an adventure! My Uni days, are still my favourite. Its where I "found" myself and I am sure you too will grow.
ReplyDeleteAnd the first day of school photo - I just joined this club xoxoxox
