The past few weeks have been so hectic. Josh studied his rear off for finals and did well on them. He missed the A/B Honor Roll by a very small percentage. We are so proud of him, he worked so hard. The kids had Field Day last week. It was a lot of fun. All sorts of races, a pickle-eating contest, balloon pop, hula-hoop, etc...
Josh plans to be on the Drumline again next year (8th grade). We weren't sure if he was going to stick with it or not, because the year started out rough in that class. But, he has put in the hard work and now it is paying off!
Football conditioning started just before school ended. I love football season! Most of all, because it is so great to watch Josh in his element. He loves football and I can't wait till games start!
Our Baby, Cami, graduated Kindergarden!! This is such a bittersweet time for me. My kiddo's are growing up entirely too quickly :( Cami's teacher, Miss Martinez, was simply amazing. Seriously, I am so thrilled by all of the things that she was able to teach this class. It was the best Kindergarden graduation I've ever seen, and not just because my kid was graduating, really! The kids all sat on stage and they performed a variety of things that they learned this year. ABC's forward and backward, in English, Spanish and Sign Language. Counting to 100 by 1's, 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's. Counting to 20 in Spanish and Sign Language. The days of the week, body parts, months of the year all in Spanish and English. The value of money. Several Bible verses. The continents and planets. SO many things...it was just awesome! We will miss her next year, in 1st grade...too bad we can't bribe her to follow the kids on to 1st grade!
Cami had a bit of a rough year. She started off by failing her hearing test as well as her vision screen at school. We finally got around to visiting the ENT (after fighting with the insurance company over a referral) and she had to have her 4th set of tubes in her ears (which was documented in a previous post). Then, we moved on to her eyes. She has an Astigmatism in both eyes. This means that her pupils are shaped like a football, rather than normal which is round! She was learning well before all of this...but it sure is amazing what kids will learn when they can see AND hear!!
Cami also participated (some) in Field Day. She ran in most of the relays, but the waiting is not her thing, so this is what I saw throughout the day...
Next post...Our 1st Family Cruise to Mexico! We leave in 6 days...
