And it is officially FALL

I love this time of year. We usually do not have much of a FALL season here in Arkansas, but this year has been exception. I think Mother Nature is apologizing for the helluous summer heat that we had this year.

Family Update...Hailie is now in 3rd grade. She spends 55% of her day in mainstream class and the other 45% of her day in either therapy or resource. Math is finally soaking in. I didn't think it was going to ever happen so I am very happy. Her reading is phenomenal and comprehension is increasing, but still low. Hailie has started P90X with me and Adam again. She only does bits and pieces of it, but it really helps with building her muscle mass. She is now 9 years old and only weighs 42 pounds. Carter started 2nd grade this year. As usual, he has high expectations for himself. The poor kid is way too hard on himself. He is awesome at everything he does, but excels in math and science. He scored in the 99th percentile on his standardized testing :) Fall season of baseball is also in full swing. He has moved to short stop and does a great job there. Adam still works his butt off all the time. He is the Wing Exec on the base now. We should be finding out next month if we are heading to D.C. or somewhere else. It will be hard to leave Arkansas after being here for over 7 years, but on the other side, the longer we stay here the harder it will be for the kids to move. As for me...just trying to keep up with everybody. I have a couple of Stamp Clubs going on this year. I will be having surgery at the end of the month to have a ganglion cyst removed from my wrist. That will be fun, NOT! I am excited about my birthday present this month! I get to go away for the weekend to scrapbook and hang out with the LADIES. I don't know if I am more excited about getting sleep while I am gone or the other stuff :)

Till next time...
