Where did May go?

I just can't believe we're almost a week into June. I guess time flies...and all of that.

UPDATE ON JOE:

Joseph's now able to go to Summer Academy, and has been since Monday, and can play at his first baseball game tonight! The doctor said that she was amazed at how well his hand has healed. He is using it, and it doesn't look like he'll be needing any physical therapy. Joe and I were discussing his hand, and he wanted to know why it got so much better and why he doesn't need to have a bandage on it. He decided it was because we said lots of prayers to Heavenly Father and asked Him to help his hand heal up and feel better. So sweet!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Today is my baby sister Monie's 19th birthday. Boy, that makes me feel old! We celebrated with lunch at El Tapatio and a visit to Liberty Park to let the kids play.

Update On Joe!

Thanks for everyone's concern! Joseph's doing great. He has a second-degree burn which is supposed to be healed in about 2 weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! He's been a pain-in-the-butt to keep down! He's been on the neighbors trampoline, riding his bike, running around, and eating everything in sight! He did have a spill at Grammie's house yesterday. He was running in the yard and tripped, and instead of catching himself with his hands he tucked his shoulder and rolled.

I have to soak and change his bandages every day, and it looks better each time. Hopefully we can keep it from getting infected! The burn covers his whole palm and also a spot on the side of his wrist. I think he was a little bit loopy from the Tylenol with codeine when I took this picture.

Accidents Happen

We spent Tuesday morning in the emergency room with The Pre-School Graduate. He burned his hand on the lawn mower. This is him after the Tylenol with codeine kicked in. Before that he screamed for an hour. His palm is a huge blister, and he also had one on his arm. The last 24 hours has been much better, but I haven't gotten up the courage to change the bandage yet. Wish me luck.

Hi everyone, this is Natalia. I'm looking forward to summer break this year. Our last day of school was last Friday. We had our fourth quarter awards assembly where the teachers give awards. I got awards for being on the honor roll all year, perfect attendance for the quarter, reading, music, and P.E., and then 2nd place award for the Smokey Bear fire prevention poster contest.

I am on a travelling softball team which Dad is coaching. I play catcher and left field or third base. Summer school starts in a week. I'm in Mrs. Harrison's class.

This year I was in the mixed age class with 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. My day at school went like this: We get to school and eat breakfast, then we sit in the gym in line and wait for one of our teachers to pick us up to take us to our room. [Our teachers are Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Billings.] Then we put our backpacks up and unload. We then put our name in the "IN" spot so our teacher knows that we're here. We go to our seat and our teacher handles the morning business. Then we do Centers.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday we meet for reading, English and spelling. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we do squiggle, spelling and reading background. After that we usually do math, and sometimes science then math and finish science. Then we go to lunch, Social studies, and our extra classes. Art and P.E. on Monday, Music on Tuesdays and Thursdays and every other Friday, and P.E. Wednesday and every other Friday.

On Monday after P.E., we go back into the room and work on things we need to get done for about an hour. Then at 2:00, we have counciling, and then go to recess. [We have recess every day at 2:35.] After we come in from recess, we pack-up and sit in our seats and wait for one of our teachers to tell the bus riders to line-up. When one of our teachers takes the bus riders out to the buses,the kids that don't ride the bus stay in the classroom with the other teacher. Then our teacher takes us outside to our parent's.

On Tuesday after lunch, Social Studies,and Music, instead of having counciling, we work on classroom work that we need to get done until recess. Wednesdays after lunch, Social Studies, and P.E. we go to the computer lab. On Thursday after lunch, Social Studies, and Music, instead of counciling or computers, we have library. Then on Friday, we take our spelling test.

Mrs. Billing's four year old daughter, Olivia, is getting a heart transplant! Mrs. Billings had to miss the last week and a half of school. Have a good summer!!!!!

Someone is graduating tonight. Guess Who?

Have you ever seen such a round face surrounded by a sea of blue? Kindergarten here we come!
