Getting ready for Graham

Well, it has begun. We put off purchasing anything for the baby until we found out he was a he. Since then Hunter has been right in the middle of picking out stuff for the baby. He helped select the crib bedding and approved the paint color for the nursery. When I get in new boxes of clothes (which I largely purchase off Ebay) he helps me go through it all and tells me which outfits Graham will like the best. We have also installed the mobile on the crib, which came with a remote control. Hunter has decided that it will be his job to activate the mobile and make the baby stop crying. (Because you know that is all it takes to stop a baby from crying!) If you stop by the house, Hunter will be glad to show you how it works! :-)

Carter is excited about the baby too, but I think he has a better understanding about how this baby is going to impact his life. He keeps telling Hunter "It will be a LONG time before the baby gets here". I'm almost 24 weeks - Graham will be here before we know it!

Cookie Exchange

The first Saturday of December, I hosted my first Cookie Exchange. I had been wanting to do this for years, but things were always too busy. I decided to go ahead and do it anyway this year and it was fun! Lots of ladies attended and the cookies were great! Maybe I will do it again...

STAR Reading

I hesitated to post this, but it's just so amazing to me! Hunter received what is possibly his last reading assessment in elementary school (5th grade). His scores are incredible, but what makes this so unbelievable to me - is where we were 4 years ago.  In first grade, this child struggled with sight words EVERY NIGHT. Seriously, there were tears 4-5 nights per week. Hour long tear filled, flash card sessions...daily. When I look at where Graham is now in 1st grade...reading/sounding out almost every word in front of him with ease...I truly realize how far Hunter has come! So what these results say (to the best of my understanding) is that Hunter is in the 5th grade, 4th month of school (GP 5.44) and tests at a grade equivalent of 12.9+ (compared to other students nationally). He's in the 98/99th percentile and can comprehend up to 80% of 11.4th grade material. So proud of his progress and so grateful for his 1st grade teacher, Ms. Shavon Diggs, who encouraged me to keep going...

Hunter is Five!!!!!

Hunter turned the big 05 on Saturday, September 26th. He had a Mario Bros themed party. It turned out pretty well. He had a good turn-out at his party, even though it came a flood about the time everyone had to get in their cars. Thanks to all who braved the weather! The kids had a great time and no one got konked in the head while they were trying to break the pinata! :-) Hunter's Cake - I didn't even cry while decorating it! Daddy and Graham watching the Pinata action! Temporary Tattoos Isaac hitting the Chomp Chomp Pinata Hunters BIG present - A playground that is still sitting in boxes!
