Ryan had his Court of Honor on August 19th, exactly one month after his birthday He had some great leaders who participated in his court. It was a great night with grandparents traveling from far away to be there.
School has started. YEAH But who knew the first day would be so crazy?? Ryan's bus stop wasn't were it was supposed to be, so I had to drive him all the way to Century - 20 minutes round trip. Craig had to take Courtney to her bus stop then drop Joslyn off at her school, all the while, Chad McKay slept soundly through it all at home. So not the morning I had planned Then wake Chad up to go to the doctor by 9:00, to see about his arm. He has a slipped capella. There is a little ball - bone, that helps your elbow bend, and when it does, it scoots out of the way, well Chad's doesn't. It's sitting on the inside growth plate, hence this is why Chad's arm is bowed, only the outside growth plate is growing. But the doctor says we're just going to wait it out. The other option is surgery, which I don't want to do, but I do want his arm straight and have full range of motion, he still can't touch his shoulder, he's about 20 degrees too short. So come home from the doctor about 10:30, then Craig calls and tells me the kids have 2 hour early release. WHAT?? We just got them all thereJoslyn needs to be picked up at 12:49 (why the weird times?) Courtney will be dropped off at 1:19 (again, come on? round up or down) And Ryan had an away soccer game, so he left school early, about an hour, to go to American Falls. So I pack myself up about 3:45 (no weird times for me) and drive the 30 or so minutes to A.F. and watch our JV team cream their varsity team, 4 - 0. They did get beat yesterday by Hillcrest, in Idaho Falls, but it was a good game. They were supposed to drive to Hailey today, about a 3 hour one way trip to play Wood River, but they have evacuated their school, because of the Ketchum fires. His next game is Friday, when Burley comes to town.
Chad starts kindergarten today He's very excited So am I The kids seem to like their schools. Even Courtney is doing well. She is going to go out for cross-country tomorrow. She has a whole class, where all they do is read, she thinks she's died and gone to heavenJoslyn is having a hard time keeping all the boys names straight, but she did get 100% on her first spelling test I am actually looking forward to this long weekend, it will be nice to relax
