1st Grade Watermelon Night

Tonight was Watermelon Night with Luke's class. They had cut out and colored a cute little rhyming book about watermelons, and so we read it as a family while we ate our yummy watermelon.

I chatted with Luke's teachers and became even more encouraged about what a great year we're going to have!

These two have been team teachers for 10 years now! They are so incredibly cheerful and obviously very driven to see their students succeed. Luke enjoys going to school so much and he loves coming home to do his homework every night. I know this won't last forever, but its nice now!

We also played at the park for awhile during the event. Jack is becoming much more adventurous...

The kids all had a blast! Tomorrow night, Beau's Pre-K Family Picnic!

My clone. The first thing most people notice is his red hair and beautiful blue eyes. He often stands out in a crowd, and he loves to be the center of attention. He is analytical, as well as very literal; but even still he has a strong faith in the Lord that I find extremely heartwarming and I couldn't ask for a better experience than going through all of his firsts with him.

My over-achiever. Everything comes easy to him, whether it be school, relationships, or anything else he tries. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up. He is so incredibly caring and loving, and he is always concerned for other people's feelings. I look forward to every day with him.

My miracle. He entered the world 4 months too soon, weighing 1 pound, 6 ounces, and he surpassed all the odds and expectations by leaving the hospital and growing and becoming a healthy little boy. He has struggled with a speech delay, which is quickly becoming a non-issue, and he does have vision problems that will most likely turn into a permanent disability, but he has a great attitude, and he loves everyone he meets, and they love him. His smile can light up a room. He loves to make people laugh. When I hear him speak, or watch him play, or hold him close, I can't help but thank God over and over for the privilege of him being in my life.
