First Day of School 2009

when you have a little sister, who is as big a ham as you are, it is nearly impossible to get her out of the picture.
Nathan's first day of school 2009.

Nathan is offically in the 4 year old preschool class and boy is he happy to be there. His teacher this year is Mrs. Francis and he is so excited to go to school 3 days a week. The preschool he is at focuses on a phonics based reading program and by the end of the year, he should be reading simple books. I am very happy with that, and look forward to a great year.

I sent Greg to school with Nathan for his open house, becasue I had to take my aunt to a Dr. appt. Greg filled out all his paperwork, likes and dislikes and such. He put on the paper that the name he goes by is Nate, not Nathan. Apparently Nathan spent all day Friday (the first day of school) correcting his teacher, telling her his name is Nathan not Nate. I cannot not blame his Dad, becasuse we do call him Nate alot. But when it come to school....he is Nathan. He started that last year, and I am sure it will change again before his school career is over. But whatever you call him, he is always my little boy.

My nephews!

My nephews are now 3 months old. Wow how time has flown by. Keanne will be returning to work the first part of September, and the boys will be with me and mine 3 days a week. My 2 are so excited to have their "new" cousins with them. Can't wait!

Alex is 18 Months!

Alright, I am about a week late on this, but better late than never.

Lex went to the dr. last week for her 18 month check-up, and all is well. Her tubes have given us 3 whole months without an ear infection. That is the longest we have gone since she was born. She had her first one at 4 months old and from there it was like clock work that she would have a double ear infection every 6 weeks or so. Needless to say we are super excited to be done with that.

She weighed in at 24 pounds. and that puts her in the 50% for that. The same was true of her head size....it put her in the 50% range. She is 33.4 inches tall which puts her in the 90% for height. Not really a suprise there. She is a tall cookie just like her big brother. She is following her established growth cruve nicely, and all her immunizations are up to date, and we are good until she needs her flu shot this fall.

So, despite our fondness for our wonderful pediatrician, Dr. Cox, you will have to find another family to pay for all your stiches in your nose. We are taking a break from sick kids. See ya in the fall for flu shots and then not again until 5 and 2 yr old check-ups!
