School is in session

First day of school and we now have two boys, Jayden, 3rd grade, and Jaxson, kindergarten, at Branch Elementary. So far they both have made new friends and Jayden reconnected with some of his from last year. In fact, he has a few in his classroom. The public school system here in Cali. has seen better days. With the state itself in bankruptcy, the schools are taking a beating. Many have lost teachers, forced some into early retirement, and pink slips were plentiful at the end of last year. Our concern has been class sizes, but at Branch that is not a big problem since it is a small school to begin with. Bridgett will be volunteering for each of their teachers and I will help by watching Baby Ella and Addison one afternoon a week. I am proud to be of any help. Of course, my grandkids are the world to me, so it's all about loving them.

Addison will begin his pre-school experience 2 days a week beginning today, Sept 2nd. Hopefully all will go well, he is very ready to tackle a challenge. And, Mommy is ready, too!
