New school, new school year.

The middle high school has been under construction for a little over a year now. The 6th graders are displaced to one grade school, the 7th and 8th graders are using an empty school downtown. So this year Shorty started 7th grade and a new school. By spring break next March they plan to move into the new building, a state-of-the-art middle school just down the street.

He's at that age where he switches between acting 15-years-old and about 7. You'll think, "Oh, he's so grown up!" And then he'll tell you how he and his friends made a "mystery" drink at lunch and talked one of them into drinking it. Ah, middle school.
