Today I had the kids' parent teacher conferences. It was Anthony's very last.
There have been so many lasts recently. And more to come. While I am sad about the lasts, I try to remind myself how grateful I am to be here experiencing any of this at all. I remind myself about the excitement for all of his upcoming firsts.
You've got this, hunny bunny. I'm definitely telling myself that just as much as I'm telling him.
Well, fun for me.
I can attest to the fact that it is a lot more fun for the person who gets to drive the tractor. Not so much for the one doing the pot-hole filling.
Sorry, Sam. lol
Anthony had his first track meet of the season this past Friday in The Dalles, OR! This is typically the only one we can ever get to because it's only an hour from home. I'm crossing my fingers we will be able to get to at least one more, but if we can't, I'm glad we made it to this one.
It sure was a shit day weather wise though! It was cold, rainy, and windy. I felt incredibly bad for all the kids there freezing, getting rained on for hours and hours. In fact, Molly, who is the track team manager, came out of the event sick. Yesterday she started with a fever, sore throat, and headache. Hopefully it doesn't last long. Parent teacher conferences and Spring break is coming up!
We picked Timothy up from school early so he could come, and since we knew it was going to rain all day, we stopped at the store to pick up some umbrellas for ourselves and the kids and their friends. We picked up some fruit, subway, and drinks as well, so the kids had food to share with their friends too. Anthony truly has a great group of buddies. And our friend Raymond came as well! Timothy was super excited about that. He's doing his first year of college at George Fox, but always comes and visits us when he comes home, and right now he is on his own Spring break. His mom is also the track coach.
