Phewww....this week flew by. We are back in the swing of things after the craziness of the holidays. Each week we are becoming more adjusted to our new normal in our new home. Monday, Hudson was still off of school so he helped me do a few marketing things for the store. Hudson LOVES one-on-one time (well, let's be honest what kid doesn't)! So Emmy went back to school and I had a personal helper for a few hours. He helped me finish the bulletin board at the store.
Here he is posing in front of the board...he is very proud of his work!!
Hudson had a great week at school. He received his first report card from his new school in Port Charlotte, and he did awesome! He received E's (for excellent) or G's (for good) in all areas. (If you recall, you don't get real "grades" in kindergarten). He is a little sponge...absorbing all the new information. He also received 100% on both math tests that he took this week. We of course told him how excited and proud we were, but he was also rewarded with a little celebrating. And what kid does not love to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese?? So off we went to Fort Meyers on Friday night to celebrate and reward our boy for a job well done!!
Of course, the little sis gets to reap some of the reward too...
Enjoying the monster truck ride...
The big kindergartner...when did he get so big?? Wah!!
Saturday was an absolutely beautiful Florida "winter" day!! I can see why the snow birds love this place!! We got out early to enjoy the weather. We took a drive down to the Naples Zoo. It is a little over an hour away...so I put the kiddo's dvd players on and off we went. The Naples Zoo was really nice. It was smaller than the San Antonio Zoo, but it was a little more manageable. They had a lot of neat shows where you get to see some of the animals up close and personal. We got to see a snake show, alligator feedings, a primate cruise (where you go out on a boat and see the monkeys), and a predator show. We made a full day of it, and after five hours there I still had to drag the kids out of there. We definitely want to go back and visit again!!

In closing out this post I would like to ask for prayers for sweet baby boy Field Johnson. He underwent open heart surgery this week. You can find the link to his blog on my blog list "Journey of the Johnsons." Praise God...he is doing well and is recovering. His mom and aunt are good friends of mine and his story is a testimony. So please if you will just lift him up in prayer that he continues to recover from thrive after surgery.
Lots of Love, The White
