School Days

School starts tomorrow and everyone is excited around here! Gabriel got most all the classes he wanted. First on his list was taking 2 math classes, so now he is taking both Geometry and Algebra II/Trig. He has to take the latter one at the high school and guess who has to carpool him there?

Anna also got all her classes she wanted and is excited that gym class is next semester. Marian was very happy to have a "girl teacher" this year. Also, 2 of her best friends are in her class.

Bogdan leaves for a business trip for 2 weeks today, then he is home briefly then off for 2 more in September.

We made our annual trek to the Unclaimed Baggage Store. Our finds this week were a brand new Coleman tent (mostly for Gabriel and his friends), a KitchenAid attachment for Karen, clothes for all the kids, some DVD's and an iPod for a friend.

We are planning a camping trip over Labor Day weekend, right after Bogdan gets back, hopefully getting into to one of the first-come, first-served campgrounds at Smoky Mountain National Park. (all the other reserve-ahead-of-time are all booked at this late date)
