I blinked and the summer's over. Just like that. It doesn't help that school started on August 6th. We had a pretty bland summer, at least as far as family activities go. There were a couple of campus visits, but since I last posted on June 23rd...there's been very little cycling and a lot of getting ready for school.
I'll cover the very little cycling next week (or the next or the next), but this post is all about getting ready for school. You may remember that James started Providence Christian Academy last August as a freshmen. He did very well and is now a sophomore. But the big news is that Christopher started there as a 7th grader. After being homeschooled basically since he was born, he had his first day of school.
As you would expect, he was nervous and excited. The first two or three days were a little overwhelming, but he seems to be settling in quite nicely. Early quiz and homework grades all indicate he's going to do just fine. As a matter of fact, his math teacher told us at Curriculum Night that he "was in the mix" already. Hmmm. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but at least we don't have to worry that he's he a corner somewhere.
His dad and I have decided that he looks quite handsome in his uniform. And, I think we'd both agree with his early assessment of school generally. 'I really like the classes, but I really don't like the tests." Sounds about right to me.
God's blessings on what's left of your summer!
