Clinic Today

Another short clinic visit today: ANC up to 3000. 6MP will go up as well.
We'll go back to the clinic in two weeks and see which way the counts have gone.
Up or down? Place your bets now.

Birthday Week

Birthday Week last week. Carson now has to use two hands to show his age....he is now 6. Francesca is no longer barely a teenager....she is 14.

.......and now we move directly into Thanksgiving. Have a good one everyone!

Here are a few photos:

The big gift.....The LEGO Fire Station

Why use 14 candles? Just the numbers please....

Sexy Lady

I knew that Carson was a different person than Francesca. I knew that he was even more different when he asked two days in to Kindergarten, "Do I have to go to school AGAIN today?" I knew going in to last week's teacher conference that I should not expect it to be the same as Francesca's teacher conferences have been.

All these things I knew in my mind became definite reality when one of Carson's teachers said the words "Sexy Lady". Here are two words I thought I'd never hear in a parent/teacher conference!

But let me back up a moment: I should first point out that Carson is doing really well in school. Both classroom teachers and his special ed teacher are extremely pleased. He is just a tad bit behind, but has made incredible progress in the first three months of school. What they've been doing at school, and what we've been doing at home is working. So....we'll keep doing it.

In class, Carson is popular with his peers, talkative, positive and easy going. Everybody is loving him.

I guess Carson was really feeling the love one day because, according to his teacher, he started referring to one of his female classmates as "sexy lady". (No, we cannot begin to tell you where he heard this!)

This continued on for a bit before the girl went and told the teacher, who tried very hard not to laugh. She called Carson over to her desk. He arrived all happy and completely oblivious to the situation. At this point he was told "Carson, I know you probably meant it as a compliment; but in Kindergarten, you should probably not refer to girls as "sexy lady". Do you think you could say something else nice to your friend?"

Carson replied "Will you be my friend?"

What can I say? It's different having a boy.

Nothin' but Pictures

We can't seem to manage a post with words, so we'll try pictures.

We went to King's Dominion.......compliments of Growing Hope.

We drove race cars.



We drove trucks.......



We drove old time cars......

Francesca also got to ride a few roller coasters, in case you were wondering.....


Then we managed to be "Incredible" at our church's Trunk or Treat...........

The Mini helped us transport the Evil Robot and baby Jack Jack.


And Edna dropped by during the evening as well.....



Carson continues to do well both in and out of school. The spinal tap today went smoothly, the meds will remain the same, and he'll head back to school tomorrow.
