Today was Derrick’s first day of 7th grade… as tradition here is a picture taken just before he left.

Of course Xavier wanted a picture of his “1st day” of school… gotta love his double cow licks…Geno calls them his “horns”

Things have been hectic here. I’ve been in class for a week and have only ONE request… HELP! It is going to be a very hard semester. I have the same teacher for both my biology classes - and that’s not a good thing. He has a “different” way of explaining things so Geno was a sweetheart and got me a digital recorder. For Microbiology the professor informed us that we need to study 2 hours a day/7 days a week to get a “C”! I think the chemistry portion is what is going to get me. We are starting some study groups and it’s good to know I’m not the only one feeling a little out of sorts.

Derrick got his braces off (I couldn’t remember if I’ve already mentioned that). This past Friday Derrick and I went to the dentist. Derrick has NO cavities and was told a beautiful smile. I on the other hand had one cavity (which I’ve known about) and I also have an infection where my root canal was done. I have to go in for a re-eval this Thursday with the dentist who worked on my mouth for the crown. Chances are he will recommend me to see a specialist to get it taken care of

Other then that everything is going well. I will give you guys another update here in a couple weeks - if not sooner. I will add photos as we take them - including Xavier’s first densist appointment this Friday!

Take care everyone…
