School Has Started

Not sure if you were aware but Margaret and I were concerned that Kali and Melia were going to lose their spots in the local elementary school. They were at a summer girl scouts camp the first week of school and, as the school secretary told us, "California law is they are not enrolled if they don't show up the first day of school. You run the risk of losing your, yada, yada, yada..."

Well, all's well that ends well.

Melia--My new school is fun. I've made a lot of new friends. We get to chose what to eat for lunch and the food is good. My teachers name is Mrs. Filan and she is very nice to me. We do math and science and we play games and do P.E. We play kick ball and capture the flag. The games are different every time. That is what my new school is like.

Kali--My first week of school was fun. We did lots of stuff we wouldn't do at our other school. Lunch was also better. I'm not saying I don't like our other school, but I like both.
