Thanksgiving

Justin drove to San Antonio on Wednesday to pick up his grandparents to bring them to our house. This is the second year in a row that have spent the holiday with us and we love it. Thursday morning I got up and ran in the 10K Turkey Dash, finishing in 50:58. My plan was to take it easy but then my competitiveness got the better of me. After the race, I came home and started cooking. Justin was in charge of the turkey and I was in charge of all the sides. The weather was perfect and Kate and Brody took full advantage and played outside all day. The day ended with a great dinner and so much to be thankful for.

Thanksgiving party

Brody and I went to Kate's Fall/Thanksgiving party on Tuesday. It was fun to see Kate interact with her friends. They had several goodies to eat and fun activities to do. I am so glad Kate loves school, her classmates and her teacher, it makes dropping her off every morning a little bit easier.

3 and 6 year check up

Kate and Brody had their well check up visit today. Kate weighs 38lbs and is 44 inches tall and Brody weighs 26lbs and was 36 inches tall. Kate has finally made it onto the charts, it just took her 6 years. Her eye sight is 20/25 which I hope stays that way and she doesn't get my eye sight. Both kids are on track and doing great.

Brody's 3

My baby is three. We decided to have a low key birthday party for him at Chuck E Cheese. It was us four and our neighbor Knox. It was perfect! The kids loved playing all the games and even played Simon says with Chuckie. Brody got a ton of Spiderman and Batman toys which is all that he wanted. He is such a boy.
Brody Moore, we love you with all of our hearts and are so blessed to have you in our lives.

Halloween/Character day

Kate's school had a Character Book dress up day and she decided to go as Snow White. She was definitely the prettiest Snow White at school.

For Halloween Kate and Brody went as Dash and Violet from The Incredibles. We went trick or treating with our neighbors again this year and the kids had a blast.

First trip to the ER

Sunday night, Brody had his first trip to the ER. We were at my friends house and he was playing on a toy when he fell off and hit his forehead on a speaker. He ended up with a gash on his head that bleed quite a bit. Luckily, I had a ton of friends to help me calm him down and bandage him up. On the way home, I was talking to Justin and he said to go ahead and take him to the ER. So, we ended up in the ER at 5 O'clock and I was pleasantly surprised we only had to wait about 30 minutes before seeing a Dr. They cleaned up the gash and glued it together. We were in and out in 2 hours and both kids did great(Justin was in London). Before bed I gave Brody some pain medicine because I knew his head would be hurting later on. He woke up crying at 10, 12 and 4. I finally brought him to my bed which was the first time he has ever slept in our bed. He tossed and turned for awhile until he finally fell asleep around 5ish. Monday morning he was back to his old self so I decided to let him go to school.

Parent/Teacher Conference

I had my first parent/teacher conference with Kate's teacher and it went great. By the end of Kindergarten, Kate is suppose to know 100 sight words, her letters, sounds, and be reading on a level D. Two months into school and Kate already knows her 100 sight words(I have already started her on 1st grade sight words), letters, numbers and sounds and is also reading on a level H. Mrs. Campbell, Kate's teacher said she is reading above level H but comprehension is best at level H. She is very good at using her clues and strategies when reading. Kate's behavior and social skills are great and always loves to help.
I love seeing and hearing how good she is doing in Kindergarten.
