Shelly & Jill were both very excited to return to school this week. Jill quickly got reacquainted with friends and is going to be a room helper (room TBA). Shelly was beaming with pride today when I picked them up from school as she was selected as a Captain of the Safety Patrol. Shelly has had a big week with starting 6th grade, being named Captain and turning 11 tomorrow.

Grandpa couldn’t resist, again! He never bought me rollerblades when I was 11 but when Shelly asks for them…lets go shopping. The girls are enjoying rollerblading this holiday weekend thanks to early birthday presents from grandpa and grandma. I can barely keep up with Shelly. Jill is learning fast but it makes her more confident knowing grandpa’s hand is there to hold on to.
