Starr Jog-a-thon

Cole, along with all of the school ran the jog-a-thon last Friday to raise money for the school. The kiddos didn't quite understand that they had to keep running so they all pretty much ran one lap and were done. They figured it out and didn't complain too much about it. Cole was pooped after the 6 laps (they double them for the kinders- so count it as 12). It was a fun morning and Q and I enjoyed cheering them on.

First day of School

I have been neglectful in posting these pictures, so back up a month. In August Cole started kindergarten. He has Mrs. Baucher (the same teacher Avery had) and is loving it. He is making great friends and fits in well. I intended to take and post pictures of Avery, but there is some sort of change between 2nd and 3rd because Avery is far less interested in pictures. She just walked right in to her class, and I have no pictures yet. She is doing well and has quickly entered into a routine in class. They each do an oral report every week on a topics like her favorite shirt or best summer memory. They also "raised" snails in class, and I have to admit I was a little upset when I saw her hop off the bus carrying "Jewel". All in all we are figuring out a schedule. Q and I are having fun in the mornings and have been running errands or playing with friends or cousins.
