In the month of November, specifically from the 10th to the 18th, we have quite a few family birthdays. This has made the boys really excited to celebrate with each family member and of course grab a sweet treat at each occasion! We celebrated our "first born" first.... Burke turned 11 this past week and enjoys chasing squirrels, going for walks and a good long nap! We recently found out that the tumors he had removed are cancer. The vet mentioned possible radiation options going forward. Based on the cost and time away from us, we have decided not to pursue any treatments past the surgeries we had for Burke. I am trying to take more pictures of our sweet pup! He is doing great and at 11 years old, he sometimes still acts like a puppy. We are so thankful he is a part of our family!
Then, we celebrated Emerson's fourth birthday, complete with yummy cupcakes. She loves the Frozen book we got her and I hear she reads it every night. ;) We love this little girl so much!
We made the trip back home to see Grannie for her birthday mid week. She has a birthday on Veteran's Day so the boys and I had the day off from school/work..... making for the perfect excuse for a road trip west!
Maddox had his five year checkup and is officially ready for kindergarten!! I am praying daily that school will be back to "normal" by the fall of 2021. I cannot fathom him starting kindergarten with remote learning and I know this boy will need to be in a classroom where he can learn to read and write. Prayers are appreciated for this! He is a healthy five year old.... he weighs in the 50th percentile and his height has gotten up to the 70th percentile! He also is incredibly brave..... he didn't even make a peep when he got his flu shot!
Zander has been doing great with remote learning..... he is getting better at being independent... signing onto the live classes through zoom and working through his daily to-do list of assignments to complete and submit electronically..... I am so proud of his enthusiasm, resilience and flexibility. I never thought he would be learning his 2nd grade curriculum like this but he is rocking it out! He was celebrated this past week with a school-wide bow tie award for his hard work!
On Saturday we went to the zoo to celebrate the Kennedy kids' birthdays! Emerson and Eli's birthdays are eight days apart, making for a great reason to have a joint celebration. Since big parties are not an option this year, we opted for a day at the zoo with our crazy crew! It was a great way to celebrate #4 and #1..... big milestones for Emerson and Eli! I think everyone had a blast.... young and older!;)
