2012: week 17

Carly had Pi Day at school,

and I got to go help out

which let me see her with some new friends.

.

We spent the weekend in Clarksdale

celebrating the marriage of

Josh and Jay Lamb.

Lot of crawfish, cocktails, and laughter!

.

Now it is American Idol night.

We are all pulling for Skylar.

I'm pulling for Philip.

Carly is pulling for Jessica.

And Kenny is pulling for anyone but Joshua.

2012 = week 16

We are spending a significant amount of time doing math these days.

Kenny has taken on the task of helper of math homework.

{thank you!!}

.

I think we are all determined to get Carly on an even playing ground.

Yes, it is the advanced math class but

more than anything it is just a different math program

than they were using before the move.

.

Last night I learned about negative exponents.

Well, maybe I re-learned about them,

but I don't remember learning them the first time.

I know it wasn't in the 6th grade,

and I'm sure I haven't used them lately.

.

Don't laugh, when was the last time that you

calculated the area of a triangular prism?

2012 = week 15

Happy Birthday G'daddy!

Sorry you didn't catch more fish

but we enjoyed the weekend in Silver City.

Love ya.

2012 = week 14

Week 13 was a busy week that ended with

a wonderful Easter weekend in Silver City.

.

We are slowly settling in.

We went to Hubfest and enjoyed a Saturday morning downtown.

We visited a new church.

Carly put another week under her belt.

She went to tennis practice and on a field trip to Camp Shelby.

I even volunteered at the school for

teacher appreciation luncheon.

2012 = week 13

This week starts the first week of our new adventure.

We are moved in {at least enough to sleep here!}

and Carly started her new school.

We are all excited about being back together.

2012 = week 12

Carly and I spent our last week in Hernando.

It was so full that it was a blur.

Carly had her last week of school

and I worked my last week.

We had dinner out every night with friends.

.

Carly got to play her only match with her SBEC tennis team.

She won her singles match, her doubles match,

and her team won.

It was a great week!

2012 = week 11

It was Spring Break, and we spent our week

burning up the road between Hernando and Hattiesburg.

We packed and loaded then unloaded and unpacked.

2012 = week 10

guess what's new at our house?

2012 = week 9

These 3 boxes are my very organized

private practice charts from the last 12 years.

Just the organizing this week was hard work!

It was a nostalgic walk.

I didn't count how many charts there were.

Some kiddos I saw just once for an evaluation

and some kiddos I saw for years.

There are several sets of siblings.

.

Did you know that you have to keep

pediatric medical records until the child turns 21?

I only found one child that has turned 21.

There are several with birthdates in the early 90's.

But most, I realize that I will need to keep until after Carly turns 21.

That seems like a LONG way off!

cooking with celeste

A couple weeks ago,

Celeste came and spent a couple of days with us.

Her and Carly made a apple crisp dessert.

Just thinking about it makes me want to

go to the grocery to buy the ingredients.

The main event was making Celeste's meatballs.

I took a picture of them raw because rather than exact measurements

Celeste said they were suppose to look and feel like this.

Crack the oven door and the house smelled heavenly.

Mmmmmmmm
