We made it through the first couples weeks of school. Paige is loving having Mrs. Miller, and Claire is loving having Mrs. Duffield. I was nervous about different rooms, but it seems to be going very well. They share friends at recess but have a chance to be their own unique selves in class. The same week as school starting we had another new experience -- Dragon Boat Races. This is totally an Iowa thing. We began to dub them Draggin' Butt Races because they are so exhausting. The whole thing is a team effort. Basically, if you are out of rhythm in the rowing, your team loses. Very entertaining and a good chance to meet a few more people. Brant's team, T&L Grinders, won the gold in their division. I was amazed because half of the boat was staggering by the last couple races. The layover time between racing led to some imbibing. Maybe it just raised spirits to victory.
