I got to hold Camden for the first time today!
I was able to spend a good portion of the day at
the hospital with Camden today!! I arrived to find his c-pap removed!!!! They
had removed it at 10am and he was doing really great with it off! Our nurse
Meredith asked me if I wanted to hold him!!! I was soooo excited! It was great
to sit and cuddle him for the first time and to be able to see his entire face
and head while doing so! He slept in my arms for a long time.

William Davies Homeschool Sale
You other homeschoolers will understand my
excitement in this post!
Every year here in Charlotte their is a really HUGE homeschool sale that takes place at a local park in Charlotte. A fellow Fiar friend, Bonita Lillie, told me about it when we were moving here to Charlotte, 2 1/2 years ago. I was able to attend last year for the first time and LOVED every minute of it. Their are ALOT of homeschool families in the area that participate in the sale. They set up tables and blankets at the park and sell their used or new homeschool items. You can find some really great deals at this sale! I have attended quit a few used homeschool sales in 3 different states, since we started homeschooling and so far this one is my favorite.

Lessons on Gardening
Posting twice today.
You might recall that our current school book is The Story of Peter Rabbit. This is the 2nd time that we have rowed Peter Rabbit and I decided to dig a little deeper this time into some of the lessons. The kids were alot younger the first time we rowed it. Our main science lessons with this story are of course on gardening.
We read this wonderful science book on how seeds grow. This is one of the Let's Read and Find out science books. They are my absolute favorite science books!!! The kids love them too! They read in a storybook format and are sooooo full of information on their topics and they usually include an experiment in the back of each book.

A Visit from Papa Charles!
On Saturday evening Papa Charles (Bryans dad) and
his wife Halyna and her two children came into town. They were on their way up
to Washington DC to apply for some visas and stopped over in Charlotte to see
us. It was really great to finally have a chance to meet Halyna and her
children. They have been married for a year and half now and this was the first
opportunity that we have had to meet her. It was great too to see Papa again.
Since moving to Charlotte we have not had the opportunities to see him very much
like we used to get when we lived in TN. They arrived Saturday early evening.
After visiting for a little bit we went out to dinner with them to Wolfman Pizza
in Charlotte.
