Last Day of School

By

What a year. In August we worried it was never going to begin and now we can't believe we finally made it to the end. Not sure how many days of actual school there were (and it seemed that nearly half were done at home) but at last it is officially over. COVID-19 had There were no holiday concerts. No holiday parties. No parents allowed in the buildings. Kids could only play on certain zones on the playground and only with their class and could not mix with other classes at lunch or recess. They wore masks from the time they left the front door of the house to the minute the got off the bus in the afternoon. They made friends. They had specialists - music, art, gym, media.

My teacher was Miss Forbort. I like her. She is pretty. I hate school. I do hate school. I hate waking up. I hate getting dressed. I hate brushing my hair. I wore a mask everyday. I love part of school. My friends are Nicholas, Caleb, Britta, Shea, Arthur, Everett, Micah, Ellery, Adalyn, Sophia, Wililam, Adrienne, Isla, Jack, Nyla, Mae, Quinn, Mari, Amara, Armoni, and Asher (everyone in my class). Everyday I went to the bus stop and got on the bus and got to school.  I sat by Theo in my assigned seat. Then I ate breakfast and lunch and came home. I play with Natalie.

I love school. Miss Cuneo is the best. Math stations, craft projects are my favorite part of being in the classroom besides recess, lunch, brain break and snack.  My friends are Lydia, Elanor, Sebastian, Bode, Sam, Daniel, Victor, Mae, Victor, Cabot, Ella, Emily, Gracie, Hudson, Iris, Ally, Ansel, Ruby, Ariana, Hattie, Evelyn, Harrison, Clara, Luke, and Zeke, basically the whole class. We got extra time of the playground. We did writers workshop. But to sum up the year in three simple words: worst year ever. We had to wear masks and it sucked. I wish Miss Cuneo would be my 3rd grade teacher. I was moved into Miss Norton's 3rd grade class. I had daddy school. I couldn't play with my friends on the playground because we had zones. If I had to chose between daddy school and real school I'd pick real school because my friends are there. I can't wait to go back to Congdon in September! The end.

Downtown, downtown!

Benziger Family in Chi-town 2019 Downtown What you see is what you get girl Don't ever forget girl Ain't seen nothing yet until you're Downtown Have you heard the song,  "Downtown, downtown" by Macklemore? Our one trip this summer was a long weekend going downtown - to Chi-town. A quick 1 hour direct flight from Duluth makes it an easy get-a-way with lots of great restaurants and cultural opportunities for the big and little kids. Luck for me, our Thursday night flight was delayed two-hours so that I finished reading all my echocardiograms and cleaned out my Epic in basket with just enough time to spare to get home, change clothes, finish packing and leave our house exactly 1 hour prior to flight departure and still drive to the airport, park, check a bag, get through security, and buy some candy before the plane started boarding! Gotta love the DLH international airport! "Long" security lines at the airport < 1 hour prior to flight...

Welcome to the world baby Theo!

   Our little baby, Theodore James, was born at Swedish Hospital in Seattle last week. He was born early because mom developed some preeclampsia which necessitated his sooner-than-expected delivery. Boy was he a peanut - weighing in at 5 lbs. 9 oz.! He had to spend a few days in the Infant Special Care Unit because he had low blood sugar and needed IV fluids and frequent blood sugar monitoring. He was such a champ and tolerated the heel sticks without a peep and didn't mind the continuous heart rate and oxygen saturation monitoring either. We were lucky that he had a full time nurse watching him so we could get some sleep those first nights but then we quickly became accustomed to his rigorous schedule of feeding every three hours - 3, 6, 9, and 12 around the clock to maintain his blood sugars above a certain level. After four long days in the hospital, we were discharged home. Since coming home, I'd say this was the longest week of my life as it was full of new ...

THEO! Our baby boy is 12. From 5 lbs, 9 oz and 18 inches to over 90 lbs. and 5' 4", he's not such a little peanut anymore. He enjoys playing lots of sports - soccer, basketball, volleyball, disc golf, mountain biking, and gaga ball in gym. He loves swimming, tubing and knee boarding at the cabin. In the winter he loves sledding at Holy Rosary and skiing at Spirit Mountain. He's in his 6th year of piano with Ms. Roberta and wants to do the drums in middle school next year. His dream day is to play Fortnite all day and night with his friends. He's kind, competitive, and funny. He's a good friend and does very well in school.  Theo winning the golden boot at his last tournament game for Gitchi Gummi Theo's birthday interview What's your n...
