Grandkids - Back to School

The end of August means some really cute grand kids are back in school for the 2012-13 school year.  We asked them to send photos of their first day of school.  Because Drew and Luke don't start Kindergarten until after Labor Day, we have also added their photos.

Drew, Jorja, and Luke are all excited for their first day of schoo

Luke (I think??)  is ready for school.   For the first time he and his twin brother Drew will be in separate classes.  Drew struggled a little being away from Luke.  However, it turned out he just wanted to know Luke was OK without him, as soon as the principal showed him Luke through the window, he had a great day.

Jorja wanted to use the name of the last unicorn on earth as her name for school, but finally decided that Jorja V would be OK to use

Drew (I think) is excited for school

The Nowers:  Shannon a mighty Senior, Jeff a seventh grader, and J.J. is in first grade.  Shannon is secretary to the drill team this year and loving it

Elizabeth is a mighty senior in Minot, North Dakota, she enjoys piano and dance.  (Doesn't seem possible we will have two grand daughters graduating from high school at the end of the school year

Madison is our great missionary who has been setting the record straight and defending the Church in her World Religions Class

Ann is a seventh grader and a class officer in her school which was destroyed by a flood last year

Jenna likes her new shirt with a message for Jelly on the front and to PB (Peanut Butter) on the back

What's Up Peanut Butter

Ann in the middle helped break ground on the new middle school which was destroyed by the floods last year in Minot.  It looks like they all could get a job with the DOT, the way they are leaning on their shovels

When Drew and Luke went to their new school for Kindergarten testing.  Jorja (the 4 year old) was quite upset that her brother go to be tested and she didn't.  One of the Kindergarten teachers overheard the conversation in the hallway.  So the teacher came out of her room and announce Jorja Thorne come in for your test.  The teacher asked her a few questions, to which Jorja enthusiastically replied with an answer.  The teacher thanked her and told her she had scored 100 percent on the test.  It made Jorja's day, not to mention her moms and dads also.  Thank goodness for good teachers who are thoughtful and caring.
