Well, the summer is fast coming to a close, and school will be starting in a bout 3 weeks. Alisa will be going to Rockwell Charter High. She started in the drama club last year and did really well last year. I hope she will keep up the great work! This is where she went last year and where I subed. It is small but she likes the class sizes. Alex will be going to the new public high school West Lake. He enjoys the music program that the alpine school district offers. He will also be running in cross country. He has really made a commitment to running and is doing a wonderful job. This will be the last year Katherine will be in grade school. I can't believe how big she is getting! Let's hope she continues to do better at her staying on task. Emma is no longer in first grade. She is a big second grader. And you can't tell her any different, she is a big girl. She is also my social bug. She always wants to have all her friends around her.

Gaylen continues to work hard to keep our family afloat. I'm thinking of going back to school. I would like to find some kind of grant to help with the cost. If not that plan might have to wait.
