Summertime!

Can't believe it's been 3 months since I last blogged. Oh yeah, I forgot that I'm working full time now and usually am too exhausted to sit and blog at night. Instead, I'd rather veg! So, here's to catch up...

Stone had tubes put into his ears and his tonsils and adnoids removed at the end of March.. that went really well. I admit, I was nervous the whole time, but all went well. Stone rebounded as if he didn't have any surgery at all! Since then, he's done well and hasn't been sick. Should have had this surgery done for him 2 years ago! As a result, he's hearing a lot better, feels better and is talking a whole lot more. Yeah surgery!

Speaking of Stone, he's one smart cookie. He's learned all his letters and numbers in preschool this year, and we haven't helped him at all at home. However, due to his October birthday, he won't be able to go to Kindergarten in the Fall. On the one hand, this is kind of a bummer, as most of his classmates are going on to Kindergarten as well as his cuz Mercy, but on the other hand, I feel that he really needs another year. But I'm excited to see how much he'll grow and take off with his language skills as well as his academics this next year. He'll be in our preK program (5's) and in our after school program again. So, the best part of my full time job is that Stone gets to be with me all day. Since he was in the 4's this past year, he got to "graduate" with the rest of his classmates. It was cute and sad at the same time cause he had a great preschool class.

So, March through May flew by. I got to hire an Assistant for the Preschool part of my job, and she just started. She has been with the program for a year (moved up here from Charlotte last year). Can't wait to hand some things off to her! I've been doing too much work at home these days.

In May, we got to visit K's sister Gini and her family. So much fun and every time we get together, it reminds me how much I miss being closer to them. I'm thankful for the time we had when we lived just 10 minutes away and sometimes wish that were so again. We got to see my parents at the end of May and haven't been to WV since Christmas due to bad weather and us all being sick all the time. My parents did come down for Stone's surgery so we got to see them briefly at the end of March. And we saw Kevin's parents for Easter in April. Other than that, we've been hanging out at home, spending weekends together, since our time during the week is so limited.

Oh, and we recently discovered the Farmer's Market.. so much fun. In April, we tried our hand at growing tomatoes. It's gone well so far.. I think not too much longer before we'll see some tomatoes! It's been fun, especially since we planted them from seeds. Stone has loved checking on them every day and watering them.

That's all for now..
