He did what?!

Wait just a minute, how'd Thing One get in there? This is supposed to be an update on Thing Two!

Thing Two has moved further East for the semester, at least, and has begun welding school in earnest, which has been going well so far as most of it has been safety videos in addition to learning how to drive in city traffic. The combination of welding + living with family who have a well instead of city water has led to a huge change..... all of his hairs got cut! Send him good vibes for learning everything and protection from Pepe the 2005 Pilot turning into a Flintstone vehicle that runs by using your own feet...

 I'll leave you with the before and after photos.

 

First day of school!

In my head, I always hear "first day of school" in Nemo's exuberant voice as he bounces on Marlin to wake him up. Our kids are WAY past being that excited about Day One, but photos are obligatory anyway.

Thing Two kicked off his first semester of college this week. (And there was much rejoicing. Hallelujah, brothers and sisters!) He's taking an English comp class in which he was the only guy, Calculus, Chemistry with lab, and Welding. It is going to be an interesting semester!

So far this week has been ice breakers and "this is the actual book we will be using" and "we are moving to this room" and so forth. 

We are excited to see what this semester holds for him in new friends and knowledge gained. Have a great Fall of Firsts, buddy!
