Well it's been a while since i've updated the blog, which means life has gotten busier! Aside from Hudson starting kindergarten, I started teaching a 3 credit class at Azusa Pacific University, so things have been more active for sure! Below is Hudson with his school mascots - we saw them at a fundraiser in town for his school! So nice to be part of the community in this new way.
We got a visit from Grandma in October, which is always a treat!
Hudson played on his first official soccer team this fall, and though he hasn't mastered the art of the game yet, he had a BALL with his friends! And always got a good amount of exercise which is always great! We hope he will want to play again in the future.
We got a new car! Yes!!! Finally got rid of the Santa Fe and got the car I really wanted! I'm loving the new ride, and am thankful for Andy and his ability to find a good car for a good deal~!
Halloween this year was fun - and filled with parties! I had no idea we would end up with SO much candy, but the kids had fun being part of everything. Stella was Pinkalicious (a character from a book she loves) and Hudson was Darth Vader.
A visit from Oma brought more news than we expected - not only did we have a nice time, but we found out we were going to be welcoming a new baby to the family next year! Abbie and Mark announced they are expecting a baby in May, and we are thrilled for them.
Birthday party!!
This picture is Hudson's kindergarten photo. We LOVE it - it captures his joyful and fun personality for sure.
For thanksgiving this year we road tripped up to Tahoe/Sacramento to be with my family. It was a lot of driving, but fun to be with everyone and have some snow! Hudson of course was in heaven.
Mark, Hudson and I went ice skating up at NorthStar (everyone was there but didn't all skate). Hudson did pretty good for never having done it before!
This December Hudson lost his first TOOTH!!! He dropped it in the trash at school, but the tooth fairy still came!
Christmas season is the best!
