Open House!

As we went to Open House, we were a little sad as it will be Mr. Farrell's last year at Cam Heights. Both Samantha and Noah had the pleasure of being in his classs. Samantha was a very impressive and eager to please student. Mr. Farrell built her confidence and gave her opportunities to shine.

Mr. Farrell has been a great teacher for Noah! I can say with a great amount of confidence that they both challenged each other. Mr. Farrell teaches at a higher level, which Noah desperately needed. Noah is extremely bright and Mr. Farrel was impressed with Noah's abilities in math, technology and reading. It was great that Noah's potential was recognize! Now came the challenging part for Mr. Farrell, which was motivating Noah! Noah can be lazy and he has the "strongest will" of anyone I have ever known. This aspect of his personality can be great when channeled properly, but it can also be extremely frustrating at times. You know the saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Anyways, thanks to Mr. Farrell for helping Noah channel much of his energy into learning. I am happy to say that he drank enough water to stay hydrated most of the time.

We will miss you Mr. Farrell!

Luke's Has his Cake and Eats it Too!

Luke loved his birthday cake! For his first bite, he did not use his hands. Within a couple of minutes, he had cake all over his hands and face. He was very focused and determined to not waste a bite. Upon my first attempt to take the cake away, he shook his head no. He was so cute! i really have never seen a kids enjoy it that much. I guess he takes after his mama, He is a sweetie with a sweet tooth. Oh yeah, he is a smartie too! He decided to use the Tigger as a spoon.

Happy First Birthday Luke!!

Luke is such a blessing to our family! I am so thankful that God put this little guy into my life. I will post more about his birthday after the day is done, as I want to give an update on his latest accomplishments. The biggest change in the last few weeks is that he got 3 new teeth and is walking everywhere.

Sam Goes to Westmont

Samantha got to spent two nights in the dorms at Westmont College. She was there for a GATE Leadership Conference. She had lots of fun and made lots of new friends. She is now looking forward to going to college. So much for the "mommy, I will never leave you" comments she use to make. As I get closer to sending my first baby out into this world, I realize how much work I still need to do. I am praising God for Sam. The pictures from this post were take on the Westmont Campus after the conference.
