Our 4th Grader

Year-round school schedules still baffle Grandma. Hunter started 4th grade in mid-July then had August off. Makes a kid feel like summer didn't happen. Hunter loves his new teacher and proudly showed off his "agenda" yesterday when I picked him up from school. As we drove around doing errands (while Orion alternated between crying and sleeping in the back seat), Mr. Hunter read me articles from Time for Kids.

Here's a recent picture sans smile because he is waiting for his loose tooth to fall out and doesn't want anyone to see it!

Hunter is very excited about getting to go to the Formula 1 race in Indianapolis next May. Josh made him watch all the races this year as endurance preparation. He doesn't always make it through them live (only Grandpa is crazy enough to get up at 4 a.m.) but he watches the recaps and always knows the poll results. As Hunter told Grandpa, "I just love the sound of racing in the morning!"

Seems I've caught Orion's cold - having your shirt used as a nose wipe probably did it - so I'm sniffling and feeling hot today!

Really enjoying this blog - learning how to do things as I go around. Send me a message or sign-up and leave a comment on what you think - please!

Sniffle... sniffle... bye for today...
