Connor's hard at work

Last week we had a progress meeting at Connor's new school. His teachers were really helpful in telling us what we need to work on with Connor. So, we've spent some time gathering materials to help him learn. This afternoon, he was working on a special puzzle. Didn't he do a great job? This week we are going to set up a desk in his room and we'll be able to keep all his materials and computer programs together. That way, little sister can't get into everything, and Connor will have his very own place to work. Here's what Connor wanted to write to you: co.nn/;or00000000tfrrefesfs3ederqgedrw3d4fd

Connor's Last Day of School

Connor had his end-of-the-year picnic at Calvary Baptist today. Here he is with his teacher, Mrs. Garrison. She has been wonderful with him, and we feel so blessed that she was his teacher. He had a great experience in her classroom and he is much more confident than he was when he came in. We are going to miss her!

Our First Camping Trip

We had a great time on our first camping trip of the summer. We spent two nights in Myrtle Beach at Pirateland Campground. It was Harley Davidson bike week there, but the campground was very quiet. We rode our bikes around the campground checking things out. There is a great swimming area, a pond stocked with fish, and the beach is less than 50 feet away. We're looking forward to lots of fun this summer! And yes, for those of you who are die-hard campers, we know this is not "real camping", but it's as close as I will get!

It's a long weekend

Jason is working two 12 hour shifts this weekend. So that means I get to spend all day on Mother's Day with my wonderful children!

Today Connor had swim lessons, and then we went for a swim in our pool. Our neighbors came over and brought pizza, so we had a nice time. Jason is not working next week, and we have our first big camping trip planned. We are taking the camper to Myrtle Beach, where we will store it for the summer. Then we can camp all we want without having to take it back and forth. When we get back, Grandma Judy is coming for a visit. We love having her here, because Mommy gets out of the house!

We are finally, FINALLY, done with our renovations on the house. This was the first week since we moved here (a year ago!) that I felt like I could relax and not start working on the "next project" We're hoping for a nice, relaxing summer.
