off to 7th grade

Maren has been SO excited to begin junior high!  With all the right clothes, hair, and two painted fingernails (?), Maren had a fantastic 1st day of jr. high.  They had the 7th graders come a day early so they could all "be lost" together--without the 8th and 9th graders to intimidate these newbies. Smart!  She enjoyed all of her classes--she's taking pre algebra, english, science, utah history, art, spanish, and computers, with chorus and PE next semester.  Whew! While visiting the school for "meet the teacher" night, we made Maren practice, practice, practice opening her locker. (I still have nightmares about not being able to open my locker--that, and realizing that I have missed an entire school year of a class when I show up for a final--hmm, don't know what that means?)  However, she was a pro by the time we left the school!  We still can't believe that we are old enough to have a child in junior high.  

Doesn't she just look like a 7th Grader?  So cute!!  We just love this girl!
