Margaret’s Mother passed away this morning. She has been living at our house for the past 3 weeks while Marghie and her sister Anne cared for her.

Fran has been suffering from late stage Alzheimer’s for many years now and we’re glad that she could pass on surrounded  by her family.  We all loved Fran very much and will miss her.

Carlos started first grade this year.  He has hist own workspace/desk and everything.  Our little boy is growing up!

Chris is still volunteering at the school.  This year he is doing the weekly psycho-motor class.  What’s psycho-motor you ask?  It’s PE.  So that’s a funny train wreck every week.

Carlos likes it.  It’s “pretty good” and “cool”.  I think recess is still the best part for him.

One funny thing is that teachers all go by their first name (different than in kindergarten).  Miss Thea is our teacher, and I sometimes teach in Miss Linda’s class.

Elementary school has become such a profound part of our lives that it impacts everything we do.  Our social circle, schedule, and conversation all revolve around these people who we (mostly) didn’t know two years ago.
