It's hard to believe that my kids are growing up so fast. One minute they start Kindergarten, next thing you know, they are off to middle school. In the area that we live in, middle starts at 6th grade! So yes, Alex is starting middle school in August. He and his fellow classmates at North Country Elementary had a ceremony, celebrating their accomplishments in elementary on May 29th, 2008. He really enjoyed the fifth grade. He had a great teacher, and did same great things. To mention some, he went on his first 3 day trip with his class to Redwood Alliance, and camped out there. He also had to complete a float for the state of Tennessee, and received an "A" on it (yea Alex!), and he starred in a school play, titled "Grease Lightening", just like the movie Grease. His role was the nerdy guy, Eugene! LOL. He had a great time, and he really likes to perform, which is a great quality in him. I hope he keeps this up, and maybe he will be in theatre! Well, the good thing is that his new school, Wilson C. Riles Middle/Junior High is a really nice school! It's a huge campus too. Most of his classmates and friends will be going there as well, so it won't be too much of a culture shock for him! He will have different teachers and periods to get used to of. I think it will be great for him, because he will be able to be around older kids too, and not just kids his same age. I hope/know it will be a positive experience, and I know that he is anxious to start. He keeps telling me how many days are left, so that is a sign that he is anticipating this new endeavour of his. Stay tuned for pics of him starting school in Aug.

Wow, it seems like yesterday that we were in the delivery room waiting for him to be born. I remember that day almost as clearly as I remember by boys births.
