Race For The Cure 2008

We had a great time at the Race for the cure today. Unfortunately dan's uncle was going to walk in the race but he became ill before the race and was taken by ambulance to Metro hospital in GR. He was admitted overnight after a day of tests. We pray everything looks good and he can be released tomorrow. In the pictures above is Josiah and Nana (dan's mother), and all of the Hill grandkids (minus Tulsa).

Race Day!

Tomorrow is Race for The Cure in Grandville. The weather is suppose to be great for the 5k race. My team consists of 16 adults and 6 kids. We have raised $767.00 this year. Thanks to all who are on my team and all who donated. My grandmother would be proud of everyone on the team!

Rain, rain, go away jojo wants to play...

This is our backyard after three days of rain. A few more inches and Josiah could swim in it.

Another Car Show

This past friday night my mom and I took the boys to a car show. It was a benefit for 2 brothers with MD. The weather was beautiful and the boys had a great time. They even got to sit in two of the cars. Josiah wanted his picture taken at every car. He would pose in front of each car until my mom would snap his picture. She took so many pictures the batteries in the camera died. So we had to pretend. Here are a few of the 48 pictures she took.

Whew!!

We made it through the first day of school for both boys. They are both looking forward to going back. Josiah is even talking about wanting to ride the bus. We will pass a bus on the road and he says, "there goes my bus." So we will see.

Josiah's Big Day

I just dropped Josiah off for his first day of afternoon kindergarten. Did I cry on the way home? My crying came about on Sunday night, when I realized I didn't fill out his transportation form. I got to thinking how do they know if he rides the bus or I take bring him and pick him up. So I looked in his folder and sure enough there was the form to be filled out. We had decided to let him (and me) get used to going everyday to kidergarten first, then we would work on the bus riding. So, I panicked at the thought of him being put on the bus for the ride home with the big kids, when he wasn't expecting that. So today when I brought him I turned in the form to the office and sure enough they had him as riding the bus. So the secretary had to go find the teacher and let her know. We will find out when I go to pick him up if she got the message. This year there is less parent/teacher chat time, and you drop him off at the playground and he is suppose to line up when the bell rings. So no chance for me to let her know. An older kid brings the kids out to the bus before the parent pick up kids so....Dan tried to calm me down by telling me to go sit in the parking lot way early and wait for him. If they put him on the bus go get him off. We will see what happens.

When I dropped him off he did really good. He is supposed to go play on the playground, but wanted to stand by Isaac and I. Then the teacher came out to have them line up, they had to wait for the bus riders. So as they were waiting the worry came across his face. He stood there and then followed the teacher inside. I thought he was going to cry but he didn't. Hopefully, he will have a great day and tomorrow will be easier.

Isaac's First Day of Pre-school

Today was Isaac's first day of pre-school. Mom stayed with him today, so he was happy to be there. He is happy-go-lucky so he will do fine on his own in school.
