Fun Friday April 5 -9th

Aaron wrote this note to his kindergarden teacher whom he adores... It says, "These flowers are the beautifulest flowers in the world. Many people love these flowers. I love you Ms. Crist. From Aaron, to Ms. Crist Love Aaron".


Audrey and AJ are playing with Zuzu Pets Grandma sent for an early Easter present.  Audrey screamed with excitement and terror when she first saw them moving all over the floor.  She ran and hid from them the first day, but after that had no problem playing with them.  Audrey loves to carry things around and got very excited when I put some Cheerios in a little cup for her to feed herself.  AJ is reading Charlotte's Web with his class at school and drew his own spider.




Sharon school had "Fun Friday" to celebrate the kids hard work during the Runathon.  AJ had a great time at all the activities and bouncies.  We even got suprised to have daddy show up for a little while.  We are always happy to see daddy on a week day other than dinner one night during the week. We usually get him all Saturday and Sunday, very special days! 






AJ and his favorite teacher Ms. Crist! He made her a necklace at one of the booths after seeing her at Fun Friday.

 





AJ is really enjoying soccer again this year.  He really likes his 2 coaches. 

 


This is one way Audrey keeps busy during the games.

Destination Wedding in Saint Croix ~ December 6th - 9th 2012

Image
Aaron's friend Chris from Wake Forest Business School invited us to his wedding on Saint Croix, one the U.S.Virgin Islands. When it finally came time to leave it seemed pretty unreal. Last December we were in Punta Cana loving the beach, now we were again able to be on a beach, only an American one, not in America. We flew to St. Thomas, then we squeezed into the plane in the pictures you see above and below.  It held 10 passengers including the pilot.  He turned around and gave us the basic instructions including the no-smoking bit, but if you really wanted to you just needed to step out the door, it was only 50 feet (or something like that). I was in the last row and my head was touching the ceiling. It was exciting and a little unnerving which just made the trip that much more adventurous. The view was breathtaking in many ways. After landing and taking a taxi (large full size van) that drove on the left side of the road thanks to the once British rul

Baseball, Soccer, Botanical Gardens~ May 18th - 24th

 Audrey loves the sand box.  She has no problem getting or being dirty.  The heat also does not deter her from playing in the sand.  I stand in the shade most of the time unless she wants me to build her castles that she can knock down or step on.  AJ's soccer season is over and he had a great time.  Above is a picture of the parents vs kids game we played at the soccer party.  Thankfully this year no parent or kid got hurt.  After the game we had a picnic and the players got their medals.  Audrey ran circles around the field and kicked loose soccer balls around. We had these 2 coaches for 2 seasons and they were awesome with the kids.  AJ definitely improved because of their abilities.  We will miss them as they move on to college in the fall. AJ is still enjoying his baseball season.  In the pictures above he got a single, but eventually made it all the way home.  Daddy was there to see it since it was on a Saturday, and Audrey enjoyed watching L

Some sweet things...

I went to tutor at AJ's school.  I work with one 4th grader, and two girls in AJ's class.  After turoring, I stayed and played with him and his frineds at recess.  He was the line leader and he was so proud to have his mom with him holding his hand.  All his friends wanted to play with us on the playground.  At lunch, everyone asked to sit by me.  AJ was happy to have me there and to spend time with just him.  When I go there for lunch, I let him buy a sherbert push-up and that makes it extra special. On his behavior chart at school he has been earning greens (everyone starts at green) and purples (extra good). He earns special treats at home whenever he gets a purple.  At the end of the week if he has all green and purples, he gets an egg nog shake.  We have bought as many half gallons of egg nog ice cream as we can fit in our freezer. Its a family favorite that comes once a year and we try to make it last as long as we can. AJ continues to improve his reading and it is so fun
