First Day of School: 7th and 12th

And we're back! For the curious among you, no, those are not eggs. They are figs. Because we have a fig tree, and it's late August. Otherwise it was a pretty typical back to school morning. No one was ready to be awake when the alarms went off, most people ate something resembling breakfast, the dog got fed, everyone who wanted it drank coffee, only one computer charger was left behind (and the laptop was fully charged, so hopefully it makes it through the day), kids briefly pretended to like each other (they actually do, but shh, we don't talk about it) and I think everyone made it on time. I wouldn't actually know for sure, though, since Wes took A and Z drove on their own and will be spending the year parking in the SENIOR lot.

ZFC, EMT-B

Zara skipped going to camp this summer (hardest decision EVER) in favor of working as a lifeguard, pool tech, swim coach and most importantly becoming an EMT! They successfully passed the course (hands on exam as well as a billion multiple choice) and then also passed the national exam, so they are like legit and official and all that. They'd love to run with the local rescue squad, but they'd have to be 18, which they are not. So, just as soon as they get their college applications in, they'll be choosing which Albemarle County firehouse will get the honor of their presence as a volunteer. Go, Z!
