Catching Up

Since my last post, way back in August, we have been up to quite a bit. The first item of business is to point out that Hudson had his first bee sting. This was quite the upsetting situation for poor Hudson. I think he was surprised to find out that this small insect could actually make his arm hurt that much. I think he will be more careful around bees from now on. But even with the pain, he was still my upbeat little boy. He kept telling me over and over again, “I’m ok. I’m ok.” And he was right; he was ok.



After the bee sting incident, we had happier times with a trip to Lagoon. The kids LOVED going there. They thought the rides, the junk food, and the staying up way past there bedtime were the perfect ingredients for a fun trip. I don’t think they stopped—except for Hudson’s brief nap at the park—from the moment we got there. They ran and played until the park closed. It was so much fun. Even if the DVD player didn’t work in the car, and Hudson woke up at 5:30—hence the nap—and Elle maybe wanted to go on the rollercoaster a few too many times. It was still fun, and we loved our trip.



Hudson also got to go on a motorcycle ride with his dad. He thought this was pretty awesome. Hudson has always loved motorcycles, and whenever he gets the chance to ride on one, he is in heaven. He could have ridden all day. If only his dad wanted to ride all day too.



Elle and Hudson have started to learn yoga. It is pretty cute seeing them do the different poses together. Elle is much more dedicated than Hudson though. He only makes it through a few poses before he is off to drive cars and interrupt his sister’s yoga session (much to her dismay).



We also made it to the fair this summer, where we watched sharks, fed butterflies, ate a delicious caramel apple, looked at booths, saw Tow Mater and viewed different shows. It was fun, and the kids loved it.



Elle had her first day of school. It is hard for me to believe that she is now in first grade. She is getting so big and grown up. But I am glad to say that she loves first grade. I wasn’t sure how the transition would go from kindergarten to first, but she couldn’t be more happy. She is not at all concerned with the length of the day, and thinks everything is fun. Her school has a great schedule, and Elle never feels like it is too long or boring. She is busy, happy, and enjoying the year. Johnny and I are very proud of her and all that she is accomplishing.



Whew. That just about covers it for August. I guess I am on to September. I definitely have my work cut out for me.
