Gift #458- Josh's Birthday Dinner

We had a great time with Josh and his friends at Jan Jaka.  

We are thankful for good friends to share special days with.  

Gift #457- Sharing

I just love watching these two together.   Today, they are sharing popcorn.  

Gift #456- Josh Turns 12!

Josh had to spend most of his birthday sitting in class, but he made the most of it.  I might have emailed his teachers and told them that it was his birthday.  He came home with a few free homework passes and a big smile.  Jack made his birthday cake- a double layer cookie cake.  We had Soba Express for dinner and opened presents!  Friday we will take his friends out to dinner at Jan Jaka.  Josh, we are so proud of you.  You are smart and kind and helpful. Not a day goes by when you don't ask "is there anything that I can help you with?".  Thank you so much.  We hope that year 12 is your best one yet!

Gift #455- School Days

The kids started back to school on Monday.  Everyone had a great first day!  Macy started 3rd grade at MC Perry Elementary.  She is in Mrs. Brillant's class.  Josh started Middle School!  He is in 7th grade.  Jack started 8th grade- his final year before high school!  Both boys are at MC Perry High School.  They have great schedules and even have one class together.  Sam is home with me this semester.  We are brushing up on reading and math so he will be all ready to go when we get to Beaufort next semester.  So far so good.  But, then again, its only day 3.  :)  We were sad to see the summer end, but were ready to get back into a routine of things around here.   Happy School Days!
