He's on the move!

On 9/8/2011 Knox took more than 2 steps in a row. He is well on his way to zooming all over the place. He thinks it is hilarious to crawl up the stairs as fast as he can before we notice that he is gone. We can hardly keep up with him right now so I'm sure as soon as he gets this walking thing down that he will be running!

Ready....Set.....2nd Grade!

We've started a new school year which also included a new school, new friends, and a new bus to ride! Griffen is now in 2nd grade at Highland Elementary School right around the corner from the house. His new teacher is Mrs. Mattingly and he is in a 1st/2nd grade split class.

On the first day Griffen met all the kids from the neighborhood at the bus stop. He is over the top excited about the prospect of riding a bus. Can you believe that there were 14 children waiting for the bus from a neighborhood of 10 houses?!

He came home from school with such enthusiasm for the new year. He loves his class and all of the kids. This year he started with a different teacher but 3 days in there was a decision made to add an additional class to decrease classroom sizes. Griffen was one of the children chosen to move to the new class. Mr. Pewitt told us that Griffen showed great skills when it came to independent learning and this is why he was chosen. He is a roll with the punches kind of a kid so I know he will do just great!

We look forward to another fantastic year!
