Courts of Honor and Pancakes

4/1--Our neighbors, Mark and Lucy Loomis, are moving back to San Diego in a couple weeks. We have enjoyed having them live in our neighborhood for the past year and a half. They are genuinely good, kind-hearted people. The “breakfast club” ladies had to have one more big Girl’s Night Out before they left. We went to a German restaurant (which I didn’t think was that good) and then to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert. YUM.

4/2—We had Josh aerate the lawn. You can’t really see it in the picture, but he’s holding and stepping on an aerator that make holes in the lawn. It’s long tedious work, but he didn’t complain and worked hard.

Andrew made us pancakes this morning for breakfast. He did great and they turned out perfect!

4/3—We attended Trevor’s Eagle Court of Honor. We are proud of him and is hard work!

Love the special bond these cousins have with each other.

4/4—I’m almost done with my Infant Development class. Sheesh. Just have to write a 10 page paper. No big deal. UGH. This paper has been the biggest pain in my side ever. When’s the last time you wrote a paper using APA style and citing sources??

4/7—Andrew was awarded the character trait award for Courage. His teacher said he’s taken lots of courageous steps in learning this year. Proud of this boy!

4/9—We went Disc Golfing with the Hague’s. The weather was perfect and it was fun to get out spend time as a family with some great friends.

4/13—Josh was finally awarded his Scout and Tenderfoot in Boy Scouts.

4/14—We (Josh, Ella and I) went to the middle school for a welcome night for all incoming 7th graders. We went on a scavenger hunt, got to know our way around, and heard about the different electives. I didn’t take any pictures…you know, I didn’t want to embarrass my child. But wanted to remember that we did that.

4/15—Instead of having the usual breakfast club, the neighbors decided to help Lucy pack. I opened up our house so the kids could play and the moms could actually get some stuff done.
