Swimming Lessons & Back to School Night

Today was a busy day.  The boys had swimming lessons (which have been going on all week) and really love them.  They are quite the fish out of water.  🙂  Their teachers are having them jump off the diving boards and everything.  Ben was a little nervous about that at first, but after the first time, that’s all he wanted to do…forget about the technique and actual swimming strokes!

Tonight we had back-to-school night for the boys.  They are really excited to be at Clear Sky Elementary, and their teachers seem really good, especially Zach’s teacher.  She comes highly regarded from many people we know.  We know he’ll have a GREAT year!  We were hoping that the boys could have gotten into Aspen View Academy (the new charter school that is just finishing up just across the way from us) but that’s OK.  They’ll do great wherever they are!  🙂

After running over to back to school night for the boys, we went over to the high school to attend a freshman parent meeting for Kirstyn.  We are excited about her being at Castle View High School!  It will be a great and challenging thing for her and we hope she does well.   We were able to meet, introduce ourselves to, and talk with the principal there and we were really impressed with him.  He seems to have very high values (not just educational, but personal and moral ones as well).  Brittany and Kirstyn will love that environment.
