Back to School '08-'09

Kira was acting nervous about school starting this year until we went to meet the teacher on Friday morning. Something about those 5 mins. with her teacher got her really jazzed about coming to school.

Even though school doesn't start until 9:00, she was up and ready to go by about 6:30am, Monday morning.

She wanted us to come with her to school on the first day, but wasn't patient enough to wait for us to catch up with her. When she came home, she reported she had a good day and made a new friend. I have high hopes for a smooth start to 2nd Grade!

As for Trenton, his educational endeavors for the year, are still up in the air. That is OK, for now. Hopefully we will get into some sort of routine (which ever that may be) by Sept. For now, we are just enjoying things being a little quieter around the house.

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
