November update

Hello everyone! We have been a little busy around here. We were in Treasure Island, FL all of last week for my niece Rachel's wedding and for Thanksgiving. Cara, Evan and Brandon missed just a couple days of school, but I think that they are back in the swing of things now. I feel bad for Cara and Evan because pretty much all I have written about on here has been about Brandon. He and I have had the biggest adjustment of all this fall. Cara and Evan are doing pretty good in school this year. Cara is in her 2nd year of middle school (7th grade) and she loves it. She isn't yet into talking on the phone or emailing her friends much. Most of the time that she spends on the computer is on weather.com, she is so into the weather. She will spend a half hour just on that site. Evan comes home and does his homework and then either goes outside to play with his best friend Aaron or he plays video games. Brandon's only homework every night is to read for 20 minutes and he absolutely loves it! I am so glad that he loves to read and he is really good at it too. Brandon was so excited when he got home a few minutes ago to see that I got up in the attic today and pulled down all of our Christmas decorations and I put some of them up. Cara and Evan will be excited also. I take Brandon and pick him up from school every day. Evan likes to ride the bus, so he gets home about 415pm. Cara usually gets home about 320pm, but today she is at band practice from 3-5pm.
I will get some pics from the wedding and our trip put up hopefully tomorrow.

Finally a little update

Hi everyone! Long time since I took the time to write. Just wanted to let you all know that Brandon is loving school! His teacher made a sticker chart just for him over a month ago and that did the trick! Brandon gets to put a sticker on every time I leave if he doesn't cry. The very first day after Mrs. Wilcox (his teacher) put up the chart he stopped crying. Now, he gives me at least 2 kisses and 2 hugs, then he says "mommy, I'll miss you more than everything there is in the whole world!" and he smiles and gives me the hand sign for I love you with both hands! I have been going in to help out in his classroom and have lunch with him at least once a week. Evan starts lunch 10 minutes after Brandon does and they sit at tables right beside each other. Brandon gets so excited every time he sees one of our neighbors at school and he says hi to everyone! When I pick him up after school he always has a lot to tell me and I love it!
