Updates and Previews

The Hobbs Crew is still here! It has been a very busy month around here. Maddie is doing great in school. She is able to read a 5-6 word sentence and knows about 30 sight words. She got her first report card 2 weeks ago and it was perfect! She is enjoying school and is meeting lots of new friends. But, she does not like to do homework. Little does she know, her homework is going to get a lot harder and in more quantity than just a half of a worksheet and sight words! This week she is out for fall break, she couldn't be more excited!

Nathan is out of DIAPERS!!!!!!! Hallelujah! He has been in big boy underwear since July and is doing great! We still have an accident every now and then when he is too busy playing. But, he has had only 2 accidents at preschool since July! I am so proud of him and so excited about being out of diapers. He still needs to wear a pull-up at nap-time and during the night, but I am not complaining! He can count to 14 and knows his ABC's. He is not quite as excited to learn as Maddie was at this age, I guess it is the boy in him!

Tucker is doing well. However, his right eye that had the retina detachments and tears has a cataract. He goes to see a cataract specialist at the end of the month, probably looking at surgery. He has a little trouble driving at night and in the rain, but other than that, all is well.

I have been working 4 days a week for the last 3 weeks. It has been quite busy at work and my boss was allowed to go over her budget. I like the extra money, but it is hard to get home, cook supper, and do homework all before 7:30 at night when we start getting the kids to bed!

We are planning some fun activities this next week. Tomorrow, we are planning on going to the pumpkin farm and next week we leave for a 4 day cruise to Cozumel. The kids are so excited and ask everyday when we are leaving. Nathan keeps saying "big boat, fun". I can't wait to see their excitement play out and looking forward to having a great time.

I will post some pictures soon, so stay tuned! Happy Fall!
