Back to school 2019

This year, Ava went into 6th, Eli went into 2nd and Jake is a Junior.  Brad is in his first year of "freedom" until he decides what he is going to do.  Brad came to work with me for a little bit until he realized that construction was not really for him, or at least working with his papa noodle.  He has decided to work with Factory 6 which is a medical medicine-making company.  It has been good for him, and he seems to really enjoy it.  Brad has been cute because he brags about how much money has been able to continue to save.  He got up to $4200 in his savings account until that jumped to over $8000 because of mom and dad helping him to buy a car.  Brad has looked at so many cars, it is crazy!  It has to be literally hundreds.  In fact, yesterday, we were so close to buying a Kia Optima.  We test drove it multiple times over the course of 3 days, had it checked out, but then the finance guy was kind of a jerk who wouldn't work with us at all.  So, Brad decided to not get it even though it was the exact car he wanted down to the car's color (blue) and beige interior with all the desired options.  The finance guy added basically $3000 to the car's price which really upset us and Brad.  Jake is doing really well with his grades.  He just got his GPA back and it was a 4.0.  Wow!  I never got that high in high school.  Eli is getting better with his reading.  He is having private tutoring lessons.  He seems to be catching onto it as he is finally reading a sentence.  Hopefully, he can be like Brad.  Brad started out struggling with reading, but then something clicked where he started reading books and now Brad enjoys to read
