Pam and I are getting ready to enter a new phase in our life. Tonight, we took James (and the two girls) to Middle School for a getting to know you night. When James enters Middle School this fall, this will be the first time since Rebecca has been in school that we will not have an elementary student in our family. It looks like James will be in the band next year. 6th grade band is for beginners and since you have to play a wind instrument first, we’re hoping he will play trumpet (and follow in dad’s footsteps.) Hopefully, he will be a much better player than I ever was.
The interesting part of the evening is when we were led on a tour of the school by Middle School guides. It was one of the most disorganized tours, but we did actually learn something from it. This will also be the first time we have a middle school student (Rebecca and Anna when to Junior High while we were in New York.) So look out, here comes Middle School
Dale!
I stumbled upon your blog while checking out Mark Wilson’s Revitalize Your Church blog. He linked to your blog and I thought, “there’s probably not too many Dale Argots in the world!” Then I saw your family’s picture and knew this was the Dale Argot that worked at IWU with me.
Anyway, it sounds like you guys are doing well. The kids to grow up, don’t they? Collin is now 9 and in 3rd grade. And we now have another boy, Ian, who is 2. So we’ll be having elementary kids in our house for a long while yet…
We’re still in Marion – you can check out my blog at tlehrian.wordpress.com (I even use the same theme as you!). There’s pics of the kids and a bunch of other stuff that no one really cares about.
