First Parent/Teacher Conference

Avery is done with her first nine weeks of school. That went by in the blink of an eye. I honestly can't tell you how fast those weeks went.

We had our first parent/teacher conference and Avery is doing outstanding in Kindergarten! We are so proud of her! Her teacher said that she is sweet, eager to learn and very helpful. We received a letter recently that said "Congratulations! Your child is an independant reader and writer!" They started sending home books for Avery to read to us! We were thrilled to say the least. Avery was graded *above* Kindergarten level in Reading, Writing and Math. Her teacher also said that if another student doesn't understand something, she'll ask Avery to go help them. My heart melted. We are so proud of you baby girl!















Avery is also into writing her own words and making lists, letters and signs. This is a new sign that is now on her door. It reads: (No Carly) "This means you!" Poor Carly, I have a feeling this is just the first of many! :)

Crackin' me up!

Look who found the lipstick!...

Expressions of a Flower Girl

My sister, Sarah, is getting married October! Avery & Carly will be her flower girls and they have had the best time practicing for the big moment. They draw "aisles" in the driveway and throw flower petals from the yard. It's truly adorable to watch. This time, Avery decided to draw Aunt Sarah and her veil, Avery in her flower girl dress, and me over to the right in my pink bridesmaid dress. LOVE it.

Check out the Big Man!

Brandon had his 4 month check-up yesterday. Mr. Big is 17 lbs. 9 oz. and 26 1/2 inches long. That puts him at 95th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. No wonder I feel like I have an arm workout everyday!

He's doing so well. Sleeping, eating, drooling, chewing anything he can get his hands on, and is just a sweet and happy guy. What a little blessing!

My Little Leap Frog

Tuesday was back to preschool day for Miss Carly. She was really excited to see her friends again! She is a Leap Frog this year and made the cutest froggy picture the first day. I'm sure that Tuesday and Thursday mornings will be the highlight of her week now.

Carly chatted with me all the way home in the car. It seems she did some green playdoh, had goldfish and raisins for snack, and got "aaaallll dirty on the playground!" Hooray! :)

It's a lot of running around to get to Kindergarten, then Preschool, then Preschool pick up, then Kindergarten pick up (with work and Mr. Brandon in between), but it's so worth it. They are all having fun!

Thank you Lord for blessing my children with fun opportunities and safe hands to guide them.
