The high school finishes (the school year) before the elementary school does by a day or two (or by several days when we have lots of snow days up here) and our past elementary grads often come visit their old teachers on those days. I asked one if they'd seen Nathan, who was on campus somewhere, and he said, "yeah, he was down in Mrs. K's room taking a Math Final, for fun."

that's my boy.

He got all A's and B's again this semester - so far for high school he's had 8 B's and 20 A's and he was on the Principal's Honor Roll, and he takes advanced Math and Science classes and Engineering and Architectural Design classes as his electives.

excuses to use the blow torch

I think older male family members see Cub Scouts and mandatory school projects as just one more reason to get out the blow torch.

THANK YOU Dad, Michael, and Nathan for all you've done to help Jacob lately! Pinewood Derby car, mini-hot-air-balloon testing, Blue and Gold Dinner cake - I don't think the cake involved a blow torch, at least as far as I know ...
