All Day K-1 Class Mrs. McClellan Lu is very ready to begin!!!

This was a terribly stormy night and morning!

He looks SO big!

Hanging up his bookbag.

We found out that Jack Pugh and Lucas were in the same class!! Here they are checking out the class turle Myrtle! She is 22 years old!! A little old for kindergarten!

Lu and Jack check out all the new stuff!!!

Here's my seat!!!

This is a bad picture, but if you look closely you can see Lu take off running towards me at the end of his FIRST DAY!

What a ham!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the second day of school and Lu and I are trying out the "shuttle" system from our home school in our neighborhood to Norwich.

He's stepping on to the bud for the first time!

Wow- a seldom seen look of worry on his little face!

Dropped off at Norwich safe and sound!!!

Mac played his first year with "kid-pitch" baseball on the Orioles team! They had a great season and were even ranked in the upper bracket of the playoffs. They made it through 3 rounds.

Third Base


















Mac playing catcher and friend Andrew Hunter batting!










Lucas played his first year of baseball on a tee ball team called the Athletics! Technically he wasn't supped to play until he turned 6, but he begged to play this year! So we started him this year... he did ok - not much different than 90% of the rest of the team, but he kind of drove Dad nuts, because he had no motivation, no umph, no fire! He didn't see any reason to run to first base when you could just amble there!!!




Batter Up!









On FIRST!

OOOOOH DIRT!!!
