First Day of School

So this is a picture of Kalli on her first day of school which was last week, August 25th. I didn't get a picture of Aidan because he missed the first day because he had croup. Last week, I took Ammon to the doctor (he had croup and got a steroid shot) Monday, then Tuesday after hours I took Aidan who got a shot and medicine because he sounded so bad and then Thursday, Kael missed his first B day of school (they go 4 classes on A day and 4 classes on B day) because--you guessed it he had croup too although they don't call it that when you are older. He just had the same virus that the other kids had and so he lost his voice and couldn't talk. He didn't get a shot...he was just told to take Ibuprofen and wait for it pass basically. This week everyone is over the croup and I am so happy. We take our health so much for granted sometimes. I have been getting a cold and sneezing a lot this week but I am counting my blessings that it isn't worse! I have this canker sore in my mouth that is not going away. I have had it for two weeks and I have put everything I can think of on it and it just won't go away. I get cankers a lot when I'm stressed but they come and go. This one just won't go! I need to stop feeling stressed but sometimes it is hard. I look at the trials that others are going through right now and they seem a lot worse than mine so what do I have to worry about?
Well, Kalli is enjoying 6th grade so far and I am pleased with how organized her teacher is teaching her to be. Aidan is liking 2nd grade and I really like his teacher and I love that he only has 15 kids in his class. What a blessing. Now if we can just get him to write legibly. Aaron will be starting preschool twice a week the day after Labor day and he is excited to go to school. It is nice to be getting into routine again although it has been very hard getting up every other day to take Kael to early morning seminary that starts at 6:20 a.m. I am really hoping that next year he will just do released time and take seminary during the day. Early morning is just killing me! He doesn't have his license yet so he can't drive himself. I should just make him ride his bike but I haven't yet. Anyway, we are doing well and Scott is still hunting for a job.
