Noah's Malady:

No, Noah isn't sick with the croup again. This is just a layout of his most recent bout a month ago.

::::::::::::House Renovations::::::::::::::

I'll upload the photos I've made soon. My dad has been bustin' his tail working on the house. We are residing in Hardiplank and I spend my time cleaning up after him, referring fights among the kids and caulking joints. Currently my fingers are coated in caulk.

The HVAC man is due to inspect our system today, but I hear he is rather backed up, so he will get here...eventually.


::::::::::DENTIST:::::::::::::::::

It was Aaron's turn to run the gauntlet. We drove to Dr. Healey's office in Roswell, which is a miserable drive in some of the worst traffic in Atlanta. I was saying to myself, "Shouldn't these people be at work! It's 9:15a.m.!"
We got to the office exactly at our appointment time. Aaron had no cavities! That is 4 for 4 in the kids department! WOO HOO! The doctor informed me that once Aaron's baby teeth are all gone, which should be in the next year, that Aaron would need braces to straighten his teeth more and close in the spaces. Michael has small teeth, so Aaron got that from him, but he doesn't think it is worth putting braces on Aaron. Time will tell...oh, well!

::::::::::::::MESSAGES:::::::::::::

Yesterday, Rachel had her substitute call the house to remind me that there was an Accelerated Reader Awards ceremony going on at 2:00p.m. Aaron took the call and never gave me the message. Rachel was disappointed that I never showed up. This is the second thing I haven't shown up to to take her photo and I think I'm getting a bad Mom Rep. One was my fault, but I really would have appreciated getting the message. I'm having a real hard time with Aaron lately, so I wasn't surprised. I feel the worst for Rachel who really lets these things get to her. I am really proud of her working hard at school.

Speaking of school stuff...Noah brought home several "100"s on his school papers, and they weren't just math. He is reading and understanding sound concepts and writing so much better. YEAH!


Smiles!
