Back to School 2009

We all went "back to school" in Hooks, Texas this year. Dan, as a coach and P.E. teacher at Hooks High School, Tammy as a 5th grade Math teacher at Hooks Junior High (only responsible for one subject for the first time in 12 years of teaching... yahoo!), Bryce-4th grade (how did that happen so fast?), Jayden - Kindergarten (or as we are calling it, "Super Kindergarten" since he was barely old enough last year, we decided to give him an extra year in kindergarten), and Rylan in Pre-K, all at the elementary school. This is a super exciting year for us as it is the very first time that we are ALL going to school in the school district and the first year since Bryce was born over 9 years ago, that we are not paying for childcare. Also, very exciting for the sons of two schoolteachers, they get to ride a schoolbus... they are delivered to me afterschool at my building. Our little family is growing up... we do feel blessed, at peace, and we are loving a much simpler life as we grow accustomed to our "hick town", as my late brother told my grandmother after he visited us last year. Here are a few pictures ... I have been having fun on a new photo editing website try it...
