Recapping the week

Wow, it has been another BUSY week.  There have been so many moments this week I wanted to post a thought or a photo and YEP, here we are at Saturday.  These quick highlights and photos are hardly going to do justice to our incredible adventures.  

So here it goes!  Mommy has had midterms this week so I didn't become part of the family until Wednesday evening and then fell asleep on the couch by 8:30 pm.  To say Daddy has stepped up has been an understatement!  I always knew he was an amazing Dad but he has offered me incredible support in this new adventure .  And truly I think he relishes in the time he has been able to spend with Reece.  They are quite the "boys club"! Because of my class schedule Gregg drove on Reece's field trip. They visited Diehl's apple orchard.  I was so envious of course because I love putting on the Mom hat and driving on field trips, but I reluctantly handed the role over to Gregg.  All in all the class had a great time.  Despite rain across lower MI , Ms. Stachura's class enjoyed a beautiful day with no rain.( Someone was watching over them)

Then came Thursday, parent teacher conferences.  We were assigned a early morning appointment and unfortunately it meant Gregg and I could not both attend, unless of course we locked Reece in his room for 45 or so minutes:)!  So once again I lost the bet and Gregg got to go!  We were unsure what to expect.  We were nervous yet primarily because we were hoping that Ms. Stachura would love Reece as much as his preschool teachers did.  Well,  not much to our surprise she thinks he is fantastic.  She said she thinks Reece is a deep thinker!  Gregg and I have always regularly joked about the fact we thought Reece was analytical which in turn lead to him being anxious about new situations especially.  However, we NOW prefer the deep thinker much more!  Of course being his parents we think he is the smartest most amazing 5 year old!!

FINALLY, it has been our first weekend in a LONG time were we had no real plans allowing us to enjoy a Saturday as a family.  We began our day meeting up with Reece's bowling league ( He was invited by a buddy in his class to bowl in a local league every Saturday morning.  A few other class mates are on his team.  This was his 4'th week.  It is a great activity for the boys to enjoy outside of school.)  We then headed to the orchard to soak up some fall fun!!  We found 3 great pumpkins and left with a bag full of apples, not to mention a very tired little man.  We had an amazing day!!
