Kindergarten!

Welp, another milestone for my big guy. He started kindergarten yesterday. He did so well. (It helps when you know 3 of the kids in your class) He played t-ball with one little boy and two other kids have been in his class at Wee Care since he started pre-k. Thank you Jesus, I think that's what made the transition so easy. We met his teacher on Monday August 25th and she is just adorable. She has a great personality and she really seems to love teaching. And she wore a TMNT shirt on the first day of school, how awesome! We did get accepted into Washington Math and Science Institute about 3 weeks before school actually started. Magnet schools are a lottery and basically if your name isn't picked you end up on a waiting list. We received a denial letter earlier this summer saying we didn't get in to the two magnet schools I applied to. BIG BUMMER but I wasn't going to let that stop me. We were pretty low on the Pease magnet waiting list so I kinda had already written that one off but stayed on the list. Washington we were low but not too bad so I waited on that list as well and went ahead and enrolled him in his home school, Henderson. I was relieved to find out one of my best friends who is also a teacher said one of her close friends (who I have met several years ago) was a kinder teacher and she said I could "request" her, so I did. Things were looking good, I bought school uniforms and was just about to start school supply shopping when I got the call that Washington had an opening for Hudson!! I immediately accepted, hung up the phone and said a little thank you prayer! :0)
After hyping him up about being a Henderson Tiger, I had to break the news that he was now a Washington Eagle. Then proceeded to tell him his buddy from school, Kyson, was also going to Washington. That excited him and he forgot all about Henderson.
Come to find out, on meet the teacher night, we saw that Kyson was in Hud's class!!

                                              My big guy's first day as a Washington Eagle!

                                                                     His BFF Kyson!

I had originally enrolled him in an after school program (great thing about magnet schools, they offer a free after school program from 3:45-4:45 for working parents) M-W would be Robotics T-Th would be Building Brainiacs, and Friday is Camp Manners. After picking him up yesterday, poor guy was exhausted. I'm not sure he could last another hour at school so we are holding off on the after school stuff for now. I am lucky enough to have a very flexible job that allows me to leave at 3:45 every day to pick him up!!

On to SISTER news:

I had my last sonogram on Tuesday and she is just BEAUTIFUL! I may be being biased, but whoa!

                                                                      Those cheeks!

She was being such a wiggle worm. We looked at all her organs, her heart, fluid and all that good stuff. The sonography said everything looked PERFECT and she was measuring right on schedule 34 weeks and 5 days and weighed 5lbs 10oz!! They are expecting her to be about 7lbs 12 oz when born but I have big babies ;) Hudson was 8.2. I cannot wait to meet this little princess. We are scheduled for a c-section on September 24th! 
I have another baby shower that my MIL and some of her close friends are throwing on September 6th, very blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. Her room is finally complete, only missing a rocker/glider but I have yet to find the perfect one. As soon as I do, be expecting picture overload.
