The Perfecta

What a great weekend so far! It started off with baking with 5 kids on Wednesday and then their parents joining us for dinner. Thursday was a blast at the Majette's for Thanksgiving. Friday was evening in the courtyard at Mongoose Junction. There was a silent auction and raffle with the proceeds benefiting Gifft Hill. From there we went to La Tapa to celebrate Pretlow's birthday. Today it is Addison's birthday party at Hawksnest. What a weekend!

Parent Update

Crazy time has invaded us! Jay has been in Atlanta most of the week. Things have been busy at school with the Middle States team visiting the school for accredation and a strategic plan session going on. Oh that and we are moving. Yep our time on St.John is quickly coming to an end. All work has stopped on Pond Bay and Jay's company is packing up and moving out. What does that mean for us. We will be moving from St. John back to Atlanta sometime between Christmas and New Years. Both kids will start at Vanderlyn once school resumes for them. We do not know where we will live since we currently have renter in our house but it will be somewhere close. We do not have a car so that will also have to be taken care of. It is a lot to figuire out, and Jay took care of some of that during his trip to Atlanta. Oh and not to mention we have Thanksgiving and Christmas in the middle of everything. It will be an interesting next few weeks!

Kids Update

Yesterday at school both kids received Student of the Month Awards. Quinn received 2! One was in his classroom for his improvement on his work and his ability to always make his friends laugh. His second one was in Spanish. Spanish has become one of his new favorite classes.

Walker received hers for Character Development. She decided this week on her own to make brownies for the Middle States team that was visit. For that act of kindness Ms. Beth picked Walker.

They have both been keeping busy. Walker is performing at the Paradise Jam halftime show tomorrow with the Love City Leapers, her jumproping team. She continues to do KATS on Saturday mornings. Quinn continues to be dragged everywhere and everywhere he goes he finds someone to play with.

Halloween Photos

Halloween 09

As most of you know Halloween on an island is different. We do not have neighborhoods to trick or treat in. So we all go to Mongoose and the kids trick or treat through the stores and the parents stand and watch them and talk with each other. I did not take many pictures this year. I just watched and enjoyed the kids. Pretlow took a ton of pictures so I am sure I will find those and send those out.

We went to Mongoose on Friday after school then went to Rhumb lines for dinner with a whole bunch of friends. On Saturday Walker had KATS. She just got moved up into the racing group. We all went over to Skinnys for lunch since Susie had never been there. We went to Maho on the way home for a dip. We were not there for long, we had a party to get ready for. We celebreated Jays birthday a few days early. Everyone came over for dinner. It was a great time!

Today it is more of the same, beach then dinner for Susie and I at La Tapa.
