Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family! I have been getting harrassed since I haven't updated my blog. (I think you know who you are!) Anyways, here is the most recent update. Sorry no picture...I will explain later. the move went well and today we will have been in our home exactly 1 month. About a 1 1/2 weeks ago we finally got cable in the house and as for internet...they keep saying soon. That is the same thing they said 3 weeks ago. So we have no internet service at the house. I try to check my email about once a week when I come by Andrew's office while he has a few moments for me to kick him off of his computer. So there is my exuse for not updating the blog more often....Now the good stuff: here is what has been going on the last month in a nutshell!
Zach was promoted to 1st grade since we moved to Colorado. After consulting with his teacher in Frisco, we decided that he would be better suited to be in 1st grade as opposed to kindergarten like he was in Frisco. That being said. He has managed to adjust well and has made new friends both at school and in the neighborhood. They recently tested his reading level at school and while we knew that he was a great reader we were very impressed with his results. Apparently, Zach has the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader and is capable of the reading at least 5th grade level books. (they didn't test beyond that) So needless to say that Zach is a outstanding reader and he loves it too which is nice. You can hardly get him to put a book down. The last book he read was Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets and he got a bunch of books for Christmas. Two of which he has already read! Amazing, isn't it!
As for Avery, she turns 5 months today and she sure is a joy! Still not rolling over, but is a very bubbly, smiley, happy girl. She enjoys tummy time and checking out the world and everything around her. She has a few rattles that completely enthrall her and she likes to play with her fingers constantly. No teeth yet, but trust me they have to be on their way the way she likes to chomp on her food. Speaking of food, she has started solids and now has a lovely meal choice varietyof rice cereal, oatmeal, carrots, and applesauce. So far she seems to like it all including the main food of choice...milk.
Andrew is enjoying his job and I am so proud of him. He has a new staff in place and is looking forward to the start of the new year to kick it into high gear. I am still enjoying staying home and am looking forward to making new friends, but of course still missing the old and keeping in touch with them.
Once we are up and running with internet I will get back in the habit of updating the blog more often with notes and pictures and responding in a more timely fashion to your emails. Until then, Merry Christmas and best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year!
