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.
