What A Change...

Well 4 days into the new private school and what a change!!! Friday was the first day and was pretty much a free day. However, Monday the work began. Sean has had homework every night... (15) math problems, (12) spelling words, and (10) mins of reading (on his own). Tuesday they threw in the first project of the year. A creative writing folder that we have to make a collage for each letter out of pictures we find. He will write stories about the pictures throughout the year. Then there's Tae Kwon Do every day after school and piano practice. My little man is busy and mommy thought she was done with all this homework when she graduated - LOL

I've been pretty impressed with Sean these past few days. With as much as he struggled at public school last year, I was really scared how he would fare at private school. He's breezing through his math problems faster each day. When I gave him his practice spelling test he only missed 3 of the 12 words. And he's able to read basic books to me with little or no help. It is the best money we've ever spent!

First Day of Private School

While everyone is preparing for the first day of school tomorrow... Sean's was actually Friday. Sean was rockin' his uniform. He didn't have to wear the shirt and tie (only required on Wednesdays for chapel), but I guess the novelty of wearing a tie was too appealing.

Summer Vacation

As the summer wound down and pregnancy progresses. We took the boys for a little summer vacation to San Antonio. 100+ degree weather, so lots of water play was a must. We toodled around San Antonio and spent a day at Sea World. The boys spent alot of time getting wet (and so did I). Kind of a bummer when I didn't realize til we were at Sea World... you can't go on any of the rides when you're pregnant :(

What's Long & White with Two Blue Stripes?

Yep... not exactly what we were "expecting" either - LOL.

Sean is going to be a Big Brother. Most of the family already knows and some close friends. Since this was a total surprise and we are WAY more excited than we thought we'd be we thought we'd share (we really didn't know if we wanted to have any more children).

It's still REALLY early. I'm only 5 weeks and our first appointment is scheduled for July 26th.

So I guess for the next nine months the blog will be pretty interesting.

Sean is SO excited and keeps telling us he wants one of each (a boy and a girl). We finally got him to pick one and he's asking for a brother. We'll see...

Making Music

Sean had the headphones plugged in while he played his piano. We could hear him making up songs, but he didn't know we were listening.
