New School for all!

Well, this is going to be a crazy school year if it continues on the way it started! We are all in transition this year... Josh has left youth ministry and is now a Biology teacher at Lavergne High School. The first day of school was pretty good for him, but Josh is such a perfectionist that this entire first year (new students, new curriculum, new lesson plans and rules, etc.) is going to make for many hours in and out of school. I am now at Central Magnet School which is a challenging move for me. I left some very good friends and am sad about that, but I like the challenge of a new job. I am learning (and drowning some days) but overall it seems like it was a good move! Jon-Mical is also at a new school. He is now attending First United Methodist Preschool. He was at Belle Air Baptist Mother's Day Out last year and loved it. I know that most parents say this, but it seems that he was just a little ahead. We don't want to push him scholastically, but we also want him to learn new things. First United Methodist is an accredited preschool that is 5 days a week. I think that he will fit in well here and really love it. He started two days ago and really likes his teachers and his new friends.

Jon-Mical has also started T-Ball this fall. I know that he is young and it seems early, but we wanted him to get some fundamentals down before next spring (when it gets serious!). :-) He LOVES it! He is the only 3 year old on the team and is (by far) the worst, but he doesn't know and really has fun at every practice. His mom and dad, however, are cringing and BITING THEIR TONGUES. He looks SO CUTE in his little baseball pants and cleats... he will look so cute at every game just sitting there on the bench in his little baseball outfit... Ha! Here are some recent pics. The are on my phone and not that great, but you can see his classroom and first day of school outfit! :)

Jon-Mical also really likes to cook! I am sure it is because he has watched his mother slave away in the kitchen every single night making gourmet dinners for her loving family... oooor because there is a kitchen at school that he plays with. Well, whatever the reason, he loves to cook and wants to help me! He made a pizza ALL BY HIMSELF the other night...
