School Days in Sunny Florida

Well, school has started in southern Florida. Anthony is in the 6th grade in a new school. Alex is now in 4th grade in the same Lakeside school. Roxana reports that Alex wants to study hard to get on the honor roll just like Anthony did. Anthony's new middle school campus has seven buildings and he has to change classrooms now for some classes. He only got lost once on the first day of school. He is taking ninth grade math and a few other advanced classes. I know he didn't get the math skills gene from me. Math was never one of my strong subjects. So things are off to a good start in south Florida and will be more improved when Pete gets home from Haiti next Thursday and has two months off before he heads to DC for language training. I'm sure he will miss being in the thick of things, but will certainly enjoy the time with his family. They have vowed not to take another assignment where they are separated.
