Way to Go!

We just got Ethan's progress report back from his school. Ethan got 4 out of 4 on almost everything. He got a 3 on matching the letters with their sounds. We couldn't be more excited. He is doing so well. Mark and I were just wondering how he was doing the night before it was sent home. It is really common for deaf kids to repeat kindergarten. We are hoping that Ethan won't have to. If he keeps doing this well it looks like he can be mainstreamed for all of first grade. Currently Ethan goes to a mainstream AM kindergarten class and then PM he is at the school for the deaf. The progress report was for his AM class.

Crazy Boys!

So I know I haven't blogged in a really long time. I am feeling a little overwhelmed trying to catch up on all the holidays. So I am just going to be brief and say we loved them all. We went to AZ on the 26. ON the 27 Mark and I went to Rocky Point, Mexico with out kids! Thanks mom and dad. We spent about 3 days in AZ after that. We had lots of fun playing games and doing whatever else my parents had planned. We also got to spend time with some college friends. I was also able to meet one of my high school friends at the park with our kids. It was so nice!

Here is a video of Ryan. He lately feels the need to pose for all pictures. I have two really quick clips so I will just post them both.

Funny Story about Ethan! Yesterday as I was waiting to go into sharing time for primary with my class I saw Ethan sitting with his class and he had his arm around a girl?! I talked to the girl's mom to see if she saw and she hadn't but she saw them holding hands on the way to thier primary class! After church I asked Ethan about this girl. I asked him her name. He said I don't know. Then he said. She's kinda pretty and cute.

Haha I hope he learns the girl's name before he gets any more action. True Hemingway, a little charmer :)
