Nothing much is new...

Well, nothing much new to report. Going to school, daycare, and home again. woohoo! We sometimes get really crazy and go out for supper. My evenings have been focused on my Herbalife adventure, thank you to those of you who have helped me out thus far. I appreciate your willingness to allow me to use your ear for practice. Oh, and I'm telling you Carson gets cuter by the minute. 8 months is such a fun age. He "gets us" now. My mom tpld me that my Grandma Peggy said it was her favorite age. Mine too!
He likes to hold his own bottle. So big! (Sigh, says mom.)
A swimming trip to Thermopolis with Grandma Suz and Aunt Amy.
The boy in a box...
Who needs toys, when Daddy gets new boots?
No kidding, we've been playing in it all week.
*Remember to enjoy the small things in your life...even if it is just a box.

2. Reading Mastry Plus
3. Corrective Reading
4. DI: Novel Studies
5. Computer program: Read Naturally
