We just had parent conference for Tait and Nate, and it was awesome! They both have almost straight A's. Nate's teacher did say that if he didn't have straight A's he wasn't living up to his potential. And urged him to actually try, because the grades he had were him just sliding by. We agree and we will be working on that with him. She also said he is a very polite and respectful boy. Tait's teacher said she is doing really well and just should work on being more confident raising her hand, speaking in front of the class, and making friends. This is something she has always had a hard time with but she is improving. It's funny how the child you see at home isn't the child that is at school. Thinking of Tait being shy has always been a weird concept for me. She is now about 5'2 and looks like she's way older than she is so I guess being shy is a good thing. Chloe had a conference as well to decide what classes to take next year. Her grades were not what we expect from Chloe, but I guess becoming the social butterfly, has taken a little toll on her grades. She has become quite the teenager! Most of our weekends and nights with her she is either out with friends, has one over or is texting/talking or on the computer. We didn't have conferences for Quinn and Addison but I'm sure Quinn's grades are great. Addison well you never know with all the plays he's doing . Steve and I started using face book, which has been fun reconnecting with lots of people from our past. The pic is of course Steve in uniform. Nate is standing behind him throwing a ball at him. I'm not quite sure why... but sometimes it's just easier not to ask why!
