Now the boys are back in school, it appears Kirra is moving back and Kaley maybe off to Mexico again for an internship with the mission. Why is Kirra moving back? I don't know. I have an opinion but I'll hold on to that. Kaley has been invited to be an intern for Missions International in Tecate, Mex. She would be a teachers assistant teaching 1st and 2nd graders english. This would be a 9 month thing and she will either live with a sponsor family or at the mission itself. We are waiting for more details.
The boys started school the other day and it was eventful. The night before, Jarod must have asked me a dozen times where the bus stop is. We finally looked it up online but that turned out to be the wrong info. So, as a result, he and 4 others had to make a run for the bus when it showed up. That was funny. I asked him how his day went and he said,"Awesome! I have cute girls in each of my classes!" Nice. I'm glad he has his priorities in order.
Joben's day, on the other hand, didn't go so well. Now that Jarod is in jr hi, Joben is in elementary "by himself". All alone with 500 other kids. He's been sweating this out for the last month. Kaley helped him get all his stuff together the night before and Renee got him his favorite Lunchable. We got him and dressed in his new clothes and walked him to school. When we got to his room, he saw some of his buddies and they were all happy to see him. Settled into his desk and the teacher started his intro. I said, "One more picture and let's go." Renee went to give him a hug and kiss and he lost it. I wasn't going to take a picture of that. So, we took him outside to let him get himself together. "I don't want to be here". I felt bad for the little guy. Renee got him to breathe again and told him all his friends are here, it will be ok, blah, blah, blah, just relax. So, he wiped his face and went back in. Sheesh!
When Joben came home I asked how his day was and he said,"Good". Not quite the exuberance of Jarod, but, it's a start. I asked what happened to him and he says,"Well, my stomach was feeling all funny and I didn't want to be there."
