The Brown's Buzz: Oops....it's been too long!

So, it's going to be impossible to sum up everything that's happened that last four months in one entry. Here's a few highlights!

* Grayson LOVES school! He comes home excited about going to specials, new learning and the friends he's made! He's very excited to be going to the same school as Kai next year! We enroll him in kindergarten (oh my!!!!) the end of this month!

* Kai continues to enjoy school too. Full day was an adjustment for him, but he manages to make it all week and then takes at least one nap on the weekend! He has a VERY busy class. His poor teacher. I'm a little bummed that I can't be a part of it all, but I hear all sorts of stories every day. :)

* The boys are on the same basketball team this winter and are having fun learning all about it! Kai looks out for his brother keeping him "on track" and Grayson is trying so hard to score a basket during a game. He's got a great attitude and loves it. :) He loves defense.

*Leela is always our sassy one. She has become even more independent (if that's possible!) and thinks she's in charge of all the kids. She's often caught telling the boys what to do and correcting any wrong behaviors. She takes it upon herself to lift Amelia if she's playing in an area she shouldn't. She still loves singing, dancing, puzzles, board games and reading books.

*Our sweet little baby girl is almost one. How is this possible???? She really has been the easiest baby ever. We have been spoiled. Such a great sleeper and loves to be around people. As long as she has a paci and someone to hold her and play with her, she's set! Daddy is her new best friend. She's starting to take steps and we are in the process of switching her over to whole milk. Crazy it's time to think about that! She's working on getting some molars right now.

* Cari is adjusting to kindergarten. It's a whole different world compared to 1st grade and every day is an adventure. I don't LOVE it yet, but don't think I can evaluate the grade level this year. It's certainly growing on me. Too many new things this year. I really love my school and my principal. So happy that I'm at Forest View!

*Derek loves working at Research. He gets to see a lot of former coworkers that bring in patients. He likes getting to pick his schedule too. He's been off since winter break though because all the open shifts have either been all nighters or during the weekday. He's picked up a few this month on days that I'm off so it's nice that worked out.

* We just had Grayson's birthday party last weekend with family. Grayson picked a Dr. Who theme AGAIN. We had a life size tardis, which was a hit. Making it hard for this mama to come up with new things to do or make! :)

* Amelia's party is this weekend and it's a Valentine theme. I'm having fun planning her party and am going to use a few things from her party for the boy's school parties the next week. Love that I can double dip! :)

That's about all the info I've got for you! Enjoy the pics!
