Growing up

Hard to believe that Logan is growing up and is in 7th Grade now. Hard to believe, too, that his FEET will not stop growing. He is only about 5'4" but his feet are a 10.5 men's!

We still have our moments that are not always good, but we do see him growing up and making good choices most of the time. He never likes to be in pictures (takes after me) and he is not always photogenic, but I like this picture of him! It just looks like him...the real Logan.

He is having a fantastic year so far and we were so excited with the Jr. High and the faculty there. They have so much enthusiasm and love for teaching and we really enjoyed the Open House there last week. The kids went to a dance in the cafeteria while the parents went around to each and every class and endured the bell music system. It was a hoot to be back in the school that Barry and I went to at that age. I feel renewed in our district once again. The Intermediate School just wasn't like the Elementary School here in town where the staff seemed to really LOVE teaching and it made me sad that teachers in 4, 5 and 6th grade seemed to forget to enjoy teaching in many ways. The music and art teachers were fabulous and showed a love for teaching, but two of the three homeroom teachers that Logan had for the last three years seemed to have lost something. It made me sad. Where was that spark that kept my dad teaching in this district for 34 years?

Anyway...Logan loves school. He has a couple accelerated classes, so he has a lot of homework right now....mostly Algebra! He knows NOT to ask me for help!
