TGIF!

What a week! I am not sure what it was about this week, but it has been one of the longest weeks that I can remember! Now if my weekend can last just as long, I'd be set!

No walking yet...We are really going to have lots of time to practice this weekend, since it will be too cold to do anything! I wonder if he'll walk by his birthday. I remember thinking he'd walk by Christmas because he was so determined to do it, but here we are. He is amazing and learning so much. He can play by himself, but loves to wrestle with his dad. He is also a HUGE fan of his Papa! Their relationship melts my heart. Since I bring him to my parents everyday for daycare, they have been able to spend a lot of time together. Nana tells me that they eat lunch together on the days my dad can make it home. The other day I was dropping him off and my dad was sitting at the computer. Sean crawls up behind him and just stares. I told him to say "hi", and the next thing I knew he was in Papa's lap with a huge smile. Buddies.

Graham is still anixously awaiting his scores and to hear back from the U. I am nervous everytime he opens his email or goes to get the mail. Please keep him in your prayers. Otherwise, he is doing great. He is looking awesome and feeling great about himself. I am so proud of him for sticking with it! We treated ourselves to McDonalds the other night, and it really didn't taste as good as we remembered it to be. What a huge accomplishment for us!

School is going well. It was a crazy day with parent readers and dog visits. I also do "hot chocolate Fridays" so I was just asking for it today! We all survived and left with smiles, and I am once again ready for bed at 9pm. What an old lady!

We were so glad to hear that our good friend passed his first 3 month check up after finding out and fighting stage 4 throat cancer. It is a miracle, and their family lives 3 months at a time now. They are looking at planning a vacation, I say go for it! We continue to pray for them.

I hope you all are doing well and staying warm. I could've screamed when the groundhog saw his shadow. I had taught my first graders a cute little song about him;

(sing to "I'm a little teapot")
I see a groundhog
furry and brown,
He's popping up to look around.
If he sees his shadow,
he'll go down.
Six more weeks of winter, OH NO!

What more can I say?
