A List of Good Things

1.  D came home from school last Friday with this.  His teacher wrote in the class newsletter that "D is an independent learner" and a "positive role model for his classmates".  He has an awesome teacher this year, a dude.  A great fit for my D.  So proud of my sweet boy!

2.  D also was tested this week for the gifted reading program.  I'm not sure what happened last year that he slipped through a crack or something but we'll see how this goes.  He tends to be a nervous tester so, fingers crossed.  

3.  I finally got around to having Squeezalicious' silhouette made…poor 3rd child.  So sweet…

I just adore this baby!

 4.  Ready for Fall around here…maybe a little on the early side but by my birthday, I can't take it anymore.  I have my wreaths up, mantle garland, candles and other assorted stuff out and about around the house.

5.  GoGo is doing the cursive.  She is having a great year so far and has a wonderful teacher who will push her.  She still loves math and most days has at least half of her worksheet completed on her 10 minute bus ride home.  We are trying to find a book series that captures her interest because I can tell that is not her "thing".  But I expect honor roll from this girl based on what I've seen so far.  Love her!

6.  At 10, 8 and 4…we have had no cavities.  Knock on wood because as I write those words, someone will need a root canal within the month.

7.  This…

8.  Friends and Family.  I just celebrated another year Here and had so many pleasant surprises from people.  Texts, cards, banners, gifts and cake.  And beer.  Love.

I'm having surgery next week and I've also seen the generous side of folks.  Helping with my little people, bringing meals, etc.  I am a blessed girl, surely undeserved.
