Boys are doing well

Just a couple minutes to post before I have to go get Rachel & Stephen from school. Wanted to let everyone know that the boys are adjusting well to school too. Stephen says he doesn't like school but does very well in it. He has only forgotten his homework twice and turns out that he had a substitute for the last little while of school on those 2 days.
Joshua just loves kindergarten. He was thrilled to come home on the second day of school and tell me that he raised his hand and gave the right answer when the teacher called on him. He also thinks it is pretty cool that he didn't have to tell the music teacher his name but everyone else did. (We go to the same church that she does.) There are only 4 or 5 boys in Joshua's class and the rest are girls. That doesn't bother him any because he rather prefers to be around the girls. He is totally attached to a foreign exchange student that is staying with our friends, Mark & Lisa for this school year. If I can't find him when we are at church, I just look for her and he is usually close by.
Rachel didn't make student council representative but she did have a decent turn out for See You At The Pole. It didn't go exactly as planned but it went well none the less. I don't remember if I put it in the last post or not but she is also doing 7th grade math this year. They tested all the 6th graders at the beginning of the year and if they did well enough, the teacher put them in 7th grade math. She is like 1 of only 6 in her class to be doing it!
Well, time to run again.
