School Pics!

Here is our welder!  They did some official wrestling pics, but apparently we won't get those until some later date?  So here's her day to day at Indian Hills! 


My school pic.  I got new frames for this school year.  Libby helped me choose, and I think she made the right choice?  It's always a bad hair day for pictures for me.  Haha.  It was a seminary morning, so no fresh hair for me.  But I am feeling much calmer and better this year.  I've been able to spread out the wrestling prep. My class is much more manageable (in both size and behaviors.)  My teaching partner and I are in the flow.  I've even been able to keep working on getting my book out there in the world (I've send queries to 2 agents.)  I plan to query two+ a week until someone wants it.  Haha. 

Sarah is having a great school year.  She is loving having a reduced schedule with Running Start.  She chose regular physics instead of AP, so she has AP US history and AP Calculus as her only AP tests.  Her running start English class seems to be going well.  She was having a good swim and dive season (still JV for dive, but getting closer to having 6 dives).  Her season was cut short--see additional post re stitches!  So she's bummed.  But she's been doing a bunch of wrestling, loving choir, and overall is rocking this year.  

Ben is growing like a weed.  He's having a great year too.  He has a math class that's making him work way more than he wants to, his Japanese class is harder than last year, and he's got a back thing going right now that's causing a lot of pain.  He's starting PT on Friday, so hopefully he's ready for wrestling.  Lots of bumps and bruises this fall season.  

 Anyway, we are really having a good year overall.  Let's go!
