School starts!

The boys started their new schools this year. They both had a great first day. I think Will's teacher will be great. She is fun, energetic, but also seems tough. Definitely a good fit for William. He is smart, but tries to do the mininum.

The second day of school had some drama. Zan missed his bus and thought he could just walk home. Great idea, except he didn't exactly know the way. He walked for a while and couldn't remember which was to turn so he headed back to the school. Unfortunately, since he had been gone for a while the office was closed and he couldn't find a phone to call me. Luckily we have a friend who works at his school and she was leaving and gave him a ride home. By the time he showed up at home I was stressed to the max and wondering if I should call someone or just try driving around. He doesn't have any new friends at the new place and the friends he does know are across town. I had no idea where to start! Thank goodness he made it home safely. God was definitely watching over him.

William, for some crazy reason, decided that he also wanted to walk home. When I asked him why he said, "I like walking on nice days." We had a chat about needing permission before he tries walking home again so hopefully he won't try again. It is actually a pretty long walk from his school to our house. He walked a long way...but it was in the wrong direction. He was about a mile from our house when I got a call from him. Luckily God had placed a nice lady jogger in his path. She let him use her phone and waited the few minutes with him until I came to pick him up. Things could have been really bad if someone with bad intentions came upon him.

Hopefully this will be the end of the drama for the year!
