Warrick Changes School
Well Warrick decided that the drive to school in the morning, and trying to catch public transportation to Terry's office in the afternoon was just too hard. San Antonio, like Detroit, does not have great public transportation, and a couple of times he was left in the lurch as the buses ran late, and he would miss his connection and Terry would have to pick him up in the evening once he was done with work.
The high school he was to attend here, Madison initially told us that he could not enroll as a senior because he was missing a credit that he was insistent he had. Once we sorted that out, and once we enrolled him in English 4 (thanks Grandma and Grandad Lennon for contributing the funds for the class) he was able to enroll. Today was his first day at the new high school. He has 37 school days left before graduating...
He came home this afternoon and told me that 5 minutes into his first class a girl asked him out!

Back To School
Spring Break is over and it ended with a BANG - literally. Last night San Antonio was placed under a tornado watch and we had severe thunderstorms, and boy, that thunder was loud! The kids mostly slept through it, although Teagan crept into Hayley's bed where we found them both this morning.
Today is the first day at Longs Creek Elementary for Teagan, Hayley, Garrick and Carson. Warrick stayed at Marshall because he will graduate from there in about 10 weeks so it was pointless moving him over to Madison. The 4 younger kids were excited, although apprehensive, about starting a new school. We had made the move as easy as possible though. Terry and I went in two weeks ago with all the paper work and the prinicipal assigned teachers ahead of time so the teachers were already prepared for the Smelker invasion! The elementary school is relatively new, built in 1997 and has over 900 students, one of the largest schools our kids have ever attended, but knowing our kids they will stand out even in a big school!
Another plus is because we moved to a sub-division close to the church, there are other families from the church whose kids attend the same school. In fact, while we waited in the halls this morning Teagan and Hayley recognised two or three kids from church and the neighborhood.
