First Day of School




I can't believe that it really is time for school to start...or that Taryn is really in the 8th grade! How can that be? Before we left she posed for her annual picture outside our front door.

This was the first year I did not accompany her inside the school. She was ready to do that herself as a "senior" in jr. high. While she doesn't have any friends in her homeroom she was thankful to find they do share several classes together.

A huge change this year is her bus schedule. All the LC routes have been streamlined to save gas. Last year she had to be outside at 7:25 AM and wouldn't get home till 4:10. This year she goes out at 8:00 AM and is home by 3:25. That's crazy better and we're thrilled.

I did pick her up at school and took her to Lynden Chocolate for an ice cream cone celebration. This gave me a chance to hear all about her day.

She starts cross-country turn-out on Thursday and is looking forward to that.
