Gorilla Balls!

So Matea keeps asking me "can i have gorilla balls?" I look at her perplexed. "GORILLA BALLS" what is a gorilla ball? I am thinking maybe it is some kind of candy or trendy thing that I don't know about. So, she keeps pointing to the cabinet.."mommy gorilla balls". I finally put two and two together and open the cabinet and see what she is looking for ....granola bars.....HA!

Other fun things...Andrew is now officially taking growth hormones. He is being very brave...we are so proud of him.

Grace can now hear perfectly out of her right ear but may have a eustachian tube blockage. Her left ear still has hearing loss and a hole in the drum that we need to fix eventually.

Now that the kids have been home a year the weekend birthday party schedule is something really hard to manage. But what an amazing thing to see everyone just thriving.

Conferences: Andrew is in 5th grade doing 8th grade math. Samantha is going to UNC CHARLOTTE next year to study PR (excellent choice for her). Grace is behind academically but the teachers are all extremely impressed with the progress and intend to promote her. Ella same thing...they told me it was to be expected. Jared is on target academically and mis behaving in class while at the same time the most popular child in the entire school.....Matea is a precious pre schooler with a new short haircut and is enjoying her gorilla balls at the kitchen tabe.....
