August brought the start of another school year! William is now a sophomore at Benet Academy where he is taking AP European History, Chemistry, Honors Geometry, Spanish 2, American Literature, Religion 2 and PE. He has to get up way too early to be the first kid on the bus, but Lucy and I walk him there to get our morning exercise. It's an easier to do in August than in January and February, but this is the last year we have to do it, since he'll have his drivers license and a parking spot next year and get to sleep an extra 45 minutes. The club volleyball season for 16s started with the school season. He is the Libero on 16-2s after being the DS on 15-3s in the prior year, so his hard work has paid off. This is also the year he grew taller than both mom and dad and continues to grow. We love taking lots of photos of the tallest Shields.
