The routine

Third week of school, and we are finally in a routine.  Not much is happening, and to be honest, I'm not too upset about that.  To give a little praise report for our Zachary, he is doing really good in Jr. High.  He is remembering his assignments, completing his work at school, and hasn't been coming home with a bunch of homework.  He has been able to finish most of his homework in his study hall period.  And a huge improvement in his ability to articulate the teacher's assignment or recall what a teacher said about a project or homework, especially when it is different from the teacher's web page.  We are not deep in to school, so there is no telling what the first nine-weeks will bring. And so far, his only struggle are still those pesky 'how' and 'why' questions.  Anyone out there with a good explanation on how to explain how to answer these two questions is welcome to advise.  I'm open to suggestions.

Since we haven't had any great events or exciting new things happening, I've decided to post some miscellaneous pictures...

Found this cute, old lady at South Padre

My sweet, old dog, Pete


Surrounded by cool friends, unable to defend himself
