Another New Year Begins

Hi Little Sweeties and Happy Wednesday!


Ahhhhh..... What a precious little face that is. He's why I've been AWOL for the better part of the summer. I spend all of the time with him that I can. I don't want to miss a minute. He's the MOST interesting child and I just love him to bits.


He started FOURTH grade last week. How can that be? Time goes by so quickly, doesn't it? It seems as though he just started kindergarten.


I always go for his first day..........then back again to see him after school. I want to hear all about his day.....and he ALWAYS has a LOT to say.


As I've said before this little darlin' has Asperger's Syndrome. Right now his favorite topic is CHICKENS and believe me......there isn't much he doesn't know. He STUDIES everything he can get his hands on. I think my daughter will give in and buy them for him in the spring.


He already has two birds, fish, two guinea pigs and a dog.


He would be perfectly happy living in a zoo. :-)


My darling daughter ran into his teacher at the Farmer's Market this past weekend. Mr. Teacher couldn't believe how smart this boy is. Yep, we know that.


And, a TREASURE.


I hope your little darlin's are enjoying the new year too.



Sending big huggies to each of you.

  7. He IS a handsome boy!! I can see why you would want to be there for the first day of school. Children are so filled with excitement that they want to share. We need to be there for them!

  8. That is just so sweet! What a cutie.

    My grand, sweet Hannah, started pre-school and she's only almost 3. She was needing the socialization. After her first day she told me she "got a sticker and it matched her dress." I can't believe tha, not even three yet, she is such a fashionista :)

  12. Thanks so much for visiting my blog, Life at Lydia's House. I've been looking around and you have a delightful blog! I will definitely be stopping by again. I love that you are a hands-on grandmother. Enjoy every moment with your boy because he'll be grown in no time at all.

  14. Spencer, this is just great. How wonderful you got to spend so much time with your grandboy this summer. I think one of my biggest surprises in this time of life is just how very much we grandams can and do love them.

    Our grandsons whose Dad is a Naval officer have moved a lot in their lives. At one time they lived in Mississippi and they had some chickens. Those little boys were in 7th heaven. Now they just moved to Rhode Island and we are going to get to see them on the 27th of this month for 3 weeks when we go to their house and explore New England with them. They are home schooled and really bright so they have been doing a lot of work ahead so they can travel with us and our daughter Laura. Robert our SIL has to be in classes. Oh and the oldest one is our little Spencie and he's 11. Rossie is 8. Pure joy!

    Love you! Bonnie
    Still listen to "our music" all the time!

    hugs, Sue
