My 5th Grader!

Hannah started 5th Grade on Tuesday and so far she seems to really be liking it. She got a really fun homeroom teacher, Mr. Rogers, who I think will be very encouraging during the year. Her schedule is going to be hectic this year. She is taking Irish Dance in Olean on Wednesdays and in Buffalo on Sundays (she is hoping to compete this year), she has a Theatre class on Tuesday evenings, and piano lessons on Thursdays. She then needs to fit in homework, and practice the flute, piano, and her dance steps. It seems like a lot for a 9 year old, but hopefully she can handle it.

Today was school picture day, here is what she wore.

My mom left yesterday. It was hard to see her go, but we had such a great visit. We are hoping they will be able to return for Christmas and, depending on the flu situation this winter, our family would like to visit there in February.

Scott and I are headed to Pittsburgh today. I have a research appointment tomorrow morning, then we will be attending a professional motocross race on Saturday. We will be camping out for three nights, so I am hopeful I have packed plenty of supplies.

I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! My love to you all! Nancy
