Wow, time sure has flown by! We had a great summer! The kids & I went to Charleston (June) for a quick beach trip with Gram, while Karl went to SD.. (for Quinn's wedding) We all went to Charleston (July) again for another quick weekend for my birthday. We then took a trip to FL we went to Jacksonville for a few nights then traveled down to Ft. Lauderdale, stoped in Melbourne & Brunswick for a night too. It was nice to see the different locations, and the last big trip before school! We got home on Sunday and Maddi started school Wednesday morning and Karl on Thursday! Then we took a short trip to NH this October.
We have a count down 5 more weeks this semester for Karl!! :) Then in January he has 4 months and he is done!! Hip hip hooray!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now!! I was beginning to think we were lost! :) We have been blessed with steady work, which we are grateful for! Karl has been more loaded with school to be there as much as he would like, so he is really looking forward to December! (4 week break)
Maddi absolutely loves every ounce of 1st grade! Mrs. Wallace is such a great teacher, she tells me sometimes she'd like to go home with her! :) She is keeping up with her reading, always has a book in her hand, reading chapter books! She takes right after her Dad! Very much a perfectionist thinks she has to be perfect at everything! Luckily things have come easy for her so far, so that image isn't hard for her to obtain. Her teacher told me she can't believe how well rounded she is! She says Maddi comes in with these fancy adorable little outfits and is all about being girly, is the first kid in the class to pay attention and trying to soak up as much knowledge as she can, is so friendly wants to be friends with everyone little social butterfly, but none of that stops her from playing basketball with the boys at recess! She got the Terrific kid award for the first quarter, we are so proud of her!
Hudson is still my wild 100% boy!! But loves his pluggie and wants to be the baby sometimes too! :) Which we don't deny him! We moved Maddi into a new room and trying to make her room into his, so I ask if he wants to sleep there he says "No, crib!" He wants to go the school always asks for his backpack .. "I go school Maddi?" He's gonna be upset when he realizes he can never go with Maddi! But hes been enjoying our little play dates! Every time we go in the Car asks "I go Coco's house?" Or if we pull into Delan & Mindy's he says "Brady yay!!!" I try to tease "Hudson Baby?" his response is always "No, Bebett the baby!!" I think his speech is still delayed, but he is one smart cookie! And he is saying new words daily! Loves to sing, doesn't know any of the words, but can get the tune pretty quickly!
As for me i've been slowly redoing Maddis new bedroom.. its slow going but progress none the less! I'm trying to take one room at a time and redo it, house needs a lift! Since we aren't moving out anytime soon! :) Not that I mind! Other than that, that's pretty much life here in our house!
Pictures are from Cohen's birthday party, but they dressed as pirates for halloween too, I just didn't get a picture.
