Destruction by AniPoo

Aniston has struck again with the remote control. This time Luke was her victim. He has a knot on his forehead, a bruise, and a small cut. He cried and so did she. She cried because of the spanking she got from daddy:( She needed it because she is out of control. I see a juvie future for her!!! An ice pack and he was on the road to recovery.

First Grade

So, we made it through the first week of first grade! Luke cried a little the first morning which really shocked Greg and I both. Actually, the big shocker was that I did NOT cry for the first time in....oh.... 4 years when dropping him off. Now, I have not ever cried in front of him.

He is loving school once again and enjoying having friends to play with and the snow cones rock! I am happy about once again having a routine down. I just wish Miss A. would cooperate and go to bed like a good girl! Then, I could have a couple hours to myself. I am not liking trying to potty train her or getting up early. Especially after long nights.

Luke went in late to school yesterday because he had to have his yearly allergy testing. This year he was ONLY allergic to 47 out of 50 things. YEA Whoo Hoo!! Just kidding. He was allergic to too much for shots because it would take about 5 yrs to build up an immunity to all those things. So we are trying bumping him up to adult doses of Claritin, Zyrtec, Singular, Patanase, Omnaris, and a new med called Alvesco. We are hoping for good results as is our bank account!

I have been having a steady stream of interest in my photography photos. I have a couple newborns on the books for when they arive. I am loving it!! I entered a photo of Aniston (which is probably my fav that I have even taken of her) in a NWA based contest. There were over 3500 entries and we placed 5th. There were no prizes for 5th and I REALLY wanted that camera for first. But, I was happy to have placed that well.

Greg is still up to work and working at school to get in our volunteer hours. He stays very busy with those things. But, he has been looking forward to deer season and taking Luke out in the woods some.

Summer is just about over

I take Luke tomorrow to drop off school supplies he is a 1st grader. Oh my where has the time gone? I felt so sorry for him over the weekend. I was missing him and went to his room. He was on his bed watching TV looking all pitiful. I asked what was wrong. He went into a story of how sad he was that he didn't get to go anywhere fun or do some of the things he wanted this summer. Some of that was because of the weather being so hot. I reminded him of some fun things and he felt better then. He has had lots of time with Papa, time with his cousins, and lots of video game playing. He seems so grown up at times and I have found myself missing my little boy. However, he has asked me for biscuits and gravy a bunch this Summer-just like when he was little. It makes me happy to see his goofy grin when I say sure I will make you biscuits and gravy.

Aniston went for her 2 year well child visit. She has regained all and some extra weight from her surgery. She was 80% in height and right under 40% in weight. She checked out well. I need to commit to potty training. I honestly think I am struggling with letting go of diapers... I know crazy huh? But that will end all things "baby". She is doing her 2nd pageant tomorrow night and it should be lots of fun.

Everything is else is the same nothing new to report! I have been doing some photos for people this Summer and am very excited where that path seems to be taking me. I have a separate blog for that www.julieslens.blogspot.com
