Go Cardinals

Kamden started Little League a couple of weeks ago. He's on the Cardinals. We're very excited to have our old soccer coach, Coach Mark.

Kamden

I realize I have been a little light on blogs about Kamden lately. That's because their mom recently moved back to Wrightwood. Up until February, Kamden was living with us full time. Now that she is back, she does a large part of the school and extracurricular stuff. We are back to being the weekend parents. The adjustment was difficult for me, as I had just gotten used to (and really started to enjoy) doing the full time work for both boys. I had school, homework, soccer, ski-school, etc. all figured out. It's hard to be so invested in something and then turn all responsibility over to someone else.

Oh well...such is life. This situation is best for everyone. His mom is a SAHM, and the upcoming fire season is going to dramatically increase my work load. Cash misses him soooo much. Every morning when he wakes up he goes straight to the couch to look for him. We go look at his picture on the refrigerator, and Cash says "awwww" and gives it a kiss. When Kamden was over last weekend Cash wouldn't leave his side.

Kamden is doing very well, though. His teacher has great things to say about his reading. He had a presentation at school last Friday and got an A++. He starts baseball soon...soo excited!


A dinner date we had after a day of skiing earlier in the year. (I realize it looks like we're in a bar, but it's also a pizza/hamburger joint)

Valentines Day in Room 8

I got to go to Kamden's class Valentine's Party. It was a blast and made me miss being in the class room (but not enough to consider teaching anytime soon). We love Mrs. Ontiveros...it's been a great year for Kamden so far.


Good ole Capri Sun. Yes, that's Pappa Jim in the background.


Kamden and our good friend Molly.

There were lots of cute class photos, but I think it's against some kind of ethics code to put them on the internet w/out parent consent.

Santa

"Grammer & Poppa Oso" joined us for our Santa visit. We went to Bass Pro Shops (along with every other family in the Inland Empire). Cash wasn't terribly impressed by his first Santa visit, but at least he didn't cry. (PS-Kamden dressed himself that day).

He loved it! He watched it at least 50 times.
